If Guttman doesn't have a regular spot in the top9, why not just send him down?
It feels like your rushing Korchinski a little bit, most defenseman need more time to develop than forwards. Look at a guy like Ryker Evans in Seattle, he killed it in the AHL last year and he's looking like he'll have a good rookie year next season.
I think they'll split Reichel and Bedard, vets tend to be more defensively responsible to help cover for the young guys.
I'd also play Kurashev at center for the full season, see if you can develop him into an actual center.
