To CGY: Eichel, Mittelstadt

Re-sign Gaudreau, and committ to the top six of Gaudreau, Eichel, Mangiapane, Tkachuk, Monahan and Lindholm.

Tkachuk - Eichel - Mangiapane
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Lucic - Backlund - Dube
Mittelstadt - Gawdin - Leivo

Giordano - Andersson
Valimaki - Tanev
Mackey - Nesterov

Expose Backlund in the expansion draft.

I’d prefer this path to ripping it all down.

How much do you think it costs to re-sign Tkachuk and Gaudreau? You also need to sign Dube and Valimaki next year. Mangiapane in Tkachuk/Gaudreau’s year. You get some relief in losing Gio that year, I guess. And you need to re-sign or replace Rittich. Pretty tight.
