I think 3 of the top 4 are obvious and so long as Kulak doesn't get claimed in expansion he will be in the mix for a top 6 spot. Bartkowski will either be the 7th dman or be in the AHL.

I'm not a huge fan of the free agent market so it will be interesting how Tre fills the holes. I like Engelland and Stone but more as number 5 guys and Engelland is older and Stone likely won't come cheap enough. But if possible, to sign both to reasonable deals, I wouldn't hate:

Gio-Hamilton
Brodie-???
Kulak-Stone
Engelland

Just need to find one other piece.
