I would try to re-sign Lindholm and Hanifin long-term for sure. If you can't, you try to move them at the draft where I would suspect the offers would be best. Maybe even with an extension in place? Could probably fetch a really nice package.
Tanev and Zadorov, I'd keep them and move them at the deadline as rentals.
Backlund has earned to call his shot. Want to re-sign and be a Flame for life? That's more than okay for me. Want to go chase a cup? He more than earned that, and he'd frankly deserve it.
Toffoli, I'm not sure. I'd probably try to cash in on his career year and move him in the summer.
