With Bennett not seizing the reigns I don't think there is any sense in exposing Backlund, so the F group seems pretty easy.

I'm not a fan of trading assets in the expansion draft, but the one thing that could make sense is to trade Bennett to SEA on the condition that they don't select Gio/Tanev (ie. they do take Kylington or Ryan). Bennett would be a near zero value asset at that point, but he would make a lot of sense for SEA (negotiating a deal lower than his QO).
