I feel like there would be a decent chance to see Valimaki come back and push his way into that top 4 role.

Then you have to make another trade, so the roster gets further depleted and/or you lose more picks. Unless you are suggesting moving Gio for that D (but then you have an expansion draft issue with the new guy).
I wonder if Dallas wants to move Klingberg. Or maybe you look at a Justin Schultz. Both will be pending UFAs after next year and maybe their teams would trade them before the season. Leddy too, though he makes a little more. Pionk is a pending RFA though I don't see Winnipeg losing him.
There's actually not a whole lot of guys producing what Gio does for a lot less money, unless they are RFAs who just signed long term deals before trending up.
