It should be an interesting off season with the defense.
Keith, Seabrook, Murphy and Dahlström should all return.
Gustafsson should return, but it’s not certain.
I would expect Jokiharju to return sometime this season, for good.
One (or possibly both) of Koekkoek and Forsling will be gone.
Maybe the Hawks take their time with Beaudin and Boqvist, but I suspect Mitchell will sign and play, most likely in Rockford to start.

I'd sign Mitchell and play him in Rockford (want him out of college and in the system), the other two, I'd either leave them, or if they can't get any better in Jrs, then Rockford.
Don't rush Dmen, it very rarely works out. None of the 3 are winning them a cup next year. System depth needs to be built up. Create lots of competition, get lots of playoff experience in the A.
