I really hope we sell high on him before that, because I can't see us being able to keep him under the cap... would be a shame to lose him for nothing. I can see us getting a really decent prospect or 1st rounder for him.
But it has to be in the off-season. Right now, he plays big minutes on a contending team. It is not worth potentially upsetting chemistry by moving him. Plus, all indications are that he is well liked on the team.
Doing it in the off-season gives the team time to sort things out before camp and the chemistry can be rebuilt from game 1.

I tend to agree that Hanifin, Valimaki, Andersson and Kylington are staples in my top 6 moving forward. Gio is part of the core and Hamonic is RHed, gritty and defensively apt so I prefer them over Brodie.
In a perfect world we could keep all 7 but in a cap world decisions need to be made.
