Doesn't seem worth it to me to protect Jokipakka and expose three more forwards. I think Jokipakka is closer in ability and value to a guy like Wotherspoon then he is close to our top 3 dmen. What if Jokipakka, Wotherspoon AND Nakladal all impress next year? Chances are we'd only lose one. I dunno, the 8 skaters 1 goalie protection scheme seems significantly worse to me.
