They traded Glencross in 14-15 and won a round. It just means giving somebody else opportunity.
Lucic, Lewis, and Ritchie should be gone for any type of return. Duehr has shown already we have pieces that can come up and replace these guys on the 4th line.
You have three major UFA forwards (Lindholm, Backlund, Toffoli)
You have three major UFA d-men next year (Tanev, Hanifin, Zadorov)
Pick one from each group and shop them at 50% retained IMO (and by shop I mean listen to the market and see what had the most value).

I picked Toffoli and Tanev (career year and a blocked shot away from a lost season)
Hanifin would be the guy to keep if he's interested. You don't trade Backlund as he should go coast to coast in the jersey. Zadorov not as much value, and I think you try and keep Lindholm.
