Only Zadorov is a ufa but the rest all make more money than what they bring to the table in the playoffs
Not saying trade all but some of these guys are players that their deals are short term enough they can be moved or young enough they have value even at an overpriced contract
Mangiapane and Kylington deals are unknown at this point but if they out price themselves maybe it’s ok to move on. If not then using a prospect or pick to get rid of monahan or lucic is all that is needed to create cap space to move forward
Stockton has a few pieces that could be ready to go next year. Pelletier and Mackey could be good replacements for guys moved out at a fifth the cap hit.

Mangiapane - Will be accepting a MUCH lower offer than his regular season implied
Toffolli - will play out his contract
Dube - who knows
Monahan - he's probably done as an impact player
Lucic - i bet he's a buyout. Maybe not if we go into a rebuild
Kylington - he needs to be reliable and consistent. probably not going to happen, so he's a good trade piece on a low ceiling player that other teams might think they can fix.
Zadorov - thursday may be his last game as a flame
