My thoughts:
re-sign Engelland for $3 million over 2 years. He is half of bottom pairing.
Pick between Wotherspoon/Jokipakka as a 6/7. They should be making under $1 million.
Sign or trade for a true #4. This will not be easy or cheap.
Leaves a spot open for Kulak or other rookie to emerge. Or value UFA near training camp if no one looks ready.
If you re-sign these guys to reasonable deals, always a chance you lose one to Vegas but not a disaster if it happens.

Prediction:
Giordano - Hamilton
Brodie - Alzner
Jokipakka - Engelland
Kulak
I'd be very fine with that.
