Probably be scrambling just to keep the homegrown core locked up.
Hopefully it becomes a question that needs to be answered when the time comes. Would be a great problem to have to deal with.

Makar is a UFA prior to 27-28 offseason, which is only 3 seasons away. It's unlikely that any of the guys you mentioned are requiring big contracts by then...it's unlikely any are even top pairing dmen by then...in the case of Mews and Morin they might not even be full time NHLers yet.
