That didn’t work out for a lot of teams last expansion so it’s risky.
In a perfect world we could protect all of:
Gaudreau
Monahan
Tkachuk
Lindholm
Dube
Mangiapane
Bennett
Backlund
Andersson
Hanifin
Gio
Kylington
Markstrom
As bad as it is to think, it’s somewhat lucky Valimaki didn’t play last year or else we would have even larger problems.

I feel like part of the reason we're seeing such a push for Lindholm and Bennett to move to Center this season, is because Backlund is likely who they want taken via expansion. Considering his age and contract, getting out of that deal for free would be a blessing.
Forward protection list should be:
Tkachuk
Gaudreau
Lindholm
Monahan
Mangiapane
Dube
Bennett
