In terms of internal replacements, I think that you keep Bennett at 3C, and have either Lindholm or Dube slide into that 2C spot for 2022.
It just opens up too many possibilities in terms of roster construction in order to not be on the table. You might also expose him and Seattle goes off the board and takes Kylington anyway, which means you essentially get to protect all of Bennett, Mangiapane and Dube, without repercussion.

I love Backlund - he has been fantastic during these playoffs. But I think it would be foolish not to expose him with that contract at that age.
