I think that Johnny is the priority.

Tkachuk and Mangiapane, I have to agree that one is likely gone. Tkachuk if his cap demand is over 10M, and otherwise Mangiapane. Eat Bread is a heart and soul guy, and brokeout in a big way, but if Tkachuk will sign at 9M, he's gone.

The toughest decision to make is at left defense. Hanifin, Kylington, Zadorov, Mackey, Valimaki. I think that Zad is priced out. I also think that Kylington just played his first full season, and will sign at a decent rate. He's staying. Mackey needs a very long look. He looks like Gio 2.0 and needs a chance to play. Valimaki is a wildcard.

I just watched Hanifin for a full year plus playoffs, and I have no idea what kind of a player he is. I know that he has high value around the league.

I would be beyond surprised if Monahan moves. I doubt Lucic does. Pelletier plays. I hope that Phillips does.
