Maybe soon?
First line → Artemi Panarin (LW) • Mika Zibanejad (C) • Pavel Buchnevich (RW)
Second line → Chris Kreider (LW) • Filip Chytil (C) • Julien Gauthier (RW) or Colin Blackwell
Third line → Alexis Lafrenière (LW) • Ryan Strome (C) • Kaapo Kakko (RW)
Fourth line → Brendan Lemieux (LW) • Kevin Rooney (C) • Colin Blackwell (RW) or Julien Gauthier
Spares → Phil Di Giuseppe (LW), Brett Howden (C)
I would like to see this
And then Kravtsov taking the RW on the 2nd line once the KHL season is over with GOAT/Blackwell sliding down to the 4th line. Lotsa balance
If we can sign an RNH (prob too expensive/long of a contract) or Danault (maybe "just right"), without giving up any assets, I'd push Strome to RW for his final year.

Spares → Anyone, really.
We can add Kravtsov and trade Strome (and trade Gauthier too, if he fails to take a step or two forward).
This gives us three "winger pairs" for us to figure out our C depth without going full Boggle with the lines. 2022-2023 is the beginning of our window, so we need to figure out our C situation if we're to take steps forward as a team. We have 18 months to figure out what that 22/23 forward roster is going to be. Our D and G is set up already.
