Assuming they take Hughes, here’s a best guess. They need to add 1 more top 6 forward in free agency. That would allow for the 3rd and 4th lines far more talented and you roll 4 lines. I see Zacha eventually taking the Zajac rôle of 3rd like center who is great defensively and but has some upside as a scorer. It doesn’t fell like he will be an elite scorer just like Zajac.
Bratt - Nico - Hall
FA signing - Hughes - Palmieri
Wood - Zajac - Coleman
Agostino - Zacha - Noesen
