If Lucic waives, I don't mind the idea of protecting 8. (assuming we re-sign Brodie or acquire an equivalent replacement):
Forwards:Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm
Defense: Gio, Andersson, Hanifin, Brodie/replacement for Brodie
Leaves Backlund, Dube and Mangiapane exposed but IMO these players are about equivalent in value and we'd be losing 1 anyway.
