Considering Forbort and Gustafsson both have had down years, as their respective UFA years, I don't think that re-signing them would take much more money than what they are receiving right now, on a three or four year term. I see this defense as strong :
Giordano - Gustafsson
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Kylington/Yelesin
If you wanted to trade Hanifin and substitute Forbort, I think that you can get a haul almost as big as Gaudreau for him.
Far from ramshackle.
