I think they'll end up prioritizing Bennett and Marchand.
My guess:

Bennet signs a new deal - 8 x 7.5 is close enough to 7 x 9.5 that there’s no reason for him to leave.

Ekblad walks - He’s looking for a big payday and FLA value him at $6 mil.

Marchand walks - He’s looking to hit the biggest payday possible, and someone will give him 3 x 8.

Schmidt signs a new deal - He’s found a great fit and it won’t take much to sign him.

FLA will have enough cap space to bring in an RD replacement for Ekblad, either in trade or UFA.
