Johansson is also a capable winger, if we're putting out names.
Technically Kerfoot is still around, he was really good in that role next to Tavares. Robertson has a good shot to surprise and we all know his potential.
But yes, Bunting so far is the natural LW.

he's the best we have now
Bonting, Robertson, Kerfoot, Engvall will probably be the left side, from first line to fourth line.
Hopefully Bunting and Robertson are ready for top six winger roles. Need Robertson to have a Calder winning year. And for Bunting to reinvent himself.
The guy they just signed for 9ook. Went on a shooting heater and scored 10 goals in 20 games.
He's actually a pretty solid forward though. Gets a lot of chances in the dirty areas. If you have Matthews and Marner at their respective price points, you're going to have to run a cheap forward next to them. That's just how it is now.

Imagine a line of Tatar - Matthews - Marner? Could it be any softer? Lol.
That line certainly wouldn't play a dump and chase game

Matthews was low key gritty this season.
Marner was definitely a perimeter player though.

You might aswell put Roberson with them at that point. It worked for Toffoli - Suzuki - Caufield though, but we aren't getting a Wendel Clark to toughen Matthews and Marners line. You might aswell try someone who is a scoring threat to create more space for them. I highly doubt we're gonna find them a better puck hound then Hyman was.

Sign one or all of Nick Ritchie,Mark Jankowshi and Casey Cizikas andDubas is onto something. Real bottom six types. Not these g damn princesses he’s signed. I want both of these guys and Then we are capable of living in the trenches

Tomas Tatar would be a massive boost to our LW depth.
Tatar Matthews Maraner
Bunting Tavares Nylander
Robertson Kerfoot Mikyehev
Spezza Kamp Simmonds.
That's not perfect but it would be pretty good especially if bunting proves last year was real and if he doesn't it's 950K who cares?
I don't actually think the forward group is that far away a piece on LW and for Bunting to prove last year was real
The bottom 6 needs some work but there are parts to it I like, SSpecifically the 4th line
I would like to see Macarus Johansson or Nick Ritchie come in to boost that
Tatar Matthews Maraner
Bunting Tavares Nylander
Robertson Kerfoot Mikyehev
Spezza Kamp Simmonds.

Let’s be honest here guys…we don’t need our pick ups to be world beaters in terms of scoring, we just need them to be consistent and play good 200ft games we already have the horses for scoring and thus is honesty bringing a defensive conscience to our forward group and maybe a little snarl (truculence doesn’t need to be overemphasized) McGinn would be nice goodrow would be nice Tatar I don’t know where you fit him outside of the 3rd line without making the other two lines extremely soft as Tatar has the same aversion to physicality as our top guys outside of AM who I think is going to develop into a Kopitaresque two way forward with a better shot
