Well this is fun...just trade them all.
Cap space and picks are an asset that doesn't mean you have to go full last place re-build and the team needs to do a better job of realizing that.
Backlund for Newhook (Colorado)
Hanifin for 13 + Rosen (Buffalo)
Lindholm (50% retained) for 23 + Lafreniere (New York)
Toffoli for 30 + Drury (Carolina)
Trade 4 of the UFAs. Get 4 young pieces that are NHL ready or close to it (Newhook, Lafreniere, Drury, Rosen) and end up with 4 1sts in the draft (13, 16, 23, 30)
Forwards: Huberdeau, Kadri, Coleman, Mangiapane, Dube, Newhook, Lafreniere, Drury, Coronato, Pelletier, Duehr, Ruzicka, Rosen
Dmen: Weegar, Anderson, Kylington, Tanev, Zadorov, Gilbert
Goalies: Markstrom, Wolf, Vladar
And 3 extra 1st round picks and $12M in extra cap space. Honestly I don't think the short term or long term outlook of that team is much worse.
