So in your mind mikheyev and Sturm are worse than okposo and girgensons and tanev is worse than Erik Johnson?

I'm not sure I follow.

Are you just looking for face punchers?

No, just alot of uncertainties in my opinion aka Goalie, Joki at RD1, Krebs 3rd line C, and hoping Cozy, Tuch, Tage arent snake bit next season. the bottom 6 looks better but I worry about defensive depth too (especially since Samuelsson is always hurt)

Ok, well I've very much liked Krebs in a bigger role and if it doesn't work, then you move cozens off the wing back to center. I also didn't graduate any of the prospect forwards who can provide a punch and both 4th line wings can play up the lineup.

Jokiharju has been fine for a long time and has found his groove with dahlin. Late in games, dahlin and power will play together and tanev and Johnson can play up the lineup.

Dennis gilbert has shown he's a competent 6/7th defense and I'm sure we will sign 3-4 vets like clague/bryson/stillman for Rochester.

No serious goalie will sign here with Levi looming, my bet is they get subban (or whoever it is) waiver proof early and Levi plays several games.

And no, I am not worried at all about tage/cozens/tuch, all of whom regressed scoring wise and all played with lingering injuries they rushed back from.

Krebs has played very well and i want him to succeed in that role, Strum and Mikheyev should be good replacements, Mikheyevs cap hit kinda scares me a bit with Peterka and Quinn looking to get paid after next year

Mikheyev for Samuelsson would be a yes 👍
FYI it’s a 85% chance Tanev signs with Canucks

I recall seeing you post many times that Kulich shouldn't be in the minors for another season, yet here he isn't on the NHL roster... What would be the plan with him? You think he's going to be pleased with the organization that keeps his scoring and talent out of the big league for yet another year?
