Monahan, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Tkatchuk, Stone. Which four of those do you protect?
I guess you can go 5 forwards and 3 dmen, but then you expose one of the dmen you don't want to lose.

there is the 8 skater option, but also the 7-3-1 option
so Monahan, Gaudreau Tkachuk Lindholm, Stone, Backlund and Bennett... the three DMen i would protect would be Hanifin, Vilamaki and Andersson/Gio.... the latter one is tricky because i would like to keep Gio a lifetime flame. This presumes either Brodie or Hamonic are traded for prospects as well, due to their contracts coming up at the same time as the expansion draft
