Batherson and Wolanin seem like the most likely prospects to make a significant impact. It's hard to say who else will even see enough games and meaningful ice time to make a real difference. To that point, I'm kind of surprised to see little mention of Duclair and Anisimov... both of whom seem likely to be top-6 fixtures, and could each have 20G/50Pts potential given the team's lack of established alternatives.

Duclair could be, although I'm kind of souring on him after looking deeper into his results. Anisimov will most likely be in the bottom-six behind White and Tierney

With Brown, White and (hopefully, I have high hopes for him) Norris, are we at a point where Tierny looks more expendable, and could be traded in the near future? Like at the deadline?

Definitely. He looks expendable already because they have too many 2/3 C types

Someone else floated the idea of Edmonton, which I think was a good idea.

I doubt anyone would question that they'll make room for the like of Tkachuk, White, and Batherson to play top-6 minutes. But beyond that, I can't see why both Duclair and Anisimov wouldn't be getting substantial offensive minutes, even if it means one of Tierney or Anisimov playing wing. There's no reason for them to push any of Brown, Norris, Formenton, or Abramov, and it seems unlikely that any of Ryan, Ennis, or Boedker will be getting premium ice time.
