I agree with muraca17 in almost everything you said except Komarov; he is the 2nd most used forward behind Mathews, good PK with Hyman and great chemistry with Kadri, that line in even strength has scored Komarov 9G, Kadri 20G and Brown 17G for a checking line against top lines every night I think not bad at all, 2nd on team in hits after Martin...his replacement will have to have a great drive train to take his job away, our best defensive forward.
For the long term I think Lou has set the line pretty well with Kadri's long term deal 4.5M and Reilly 5M. That is the most you get if you are not Matthews, Nylander, Marner...Zaitev 4.5M is very well signed, if Bozak and/or JVR agree around that amount will be extended, something like 4.5M Bozak 3 year and 5-5.5M JVR 4 years.
Martin has his role on the team and won't be exposed or traded.
The good thing about depth is camp will be great battle for jobs at forward, and the Marlies are going to have a pretty solid team to supply in case of injuries, but we still thin at D (right specially) and C
Marincin and Marchenko have 1 year left, if they don't stick on roster can send them down and have depth, next year thx and byebye like done with Percy etc
