I would strongly argue that Brodie is the only player of any matter that they allowed to walk away. One could argue Hamonic, I guess.
Most of those points will be replaced by others simply playing in those spots instead. Most of the guys were simply not productive. The 100 point calc is just a function of player quantity and doesn't represent true loss or delta betweens players lost and players acquired.
But which of those guys are you ACTUALLY worried about losing?

Yep; Brodie is the only player that might actually have a real impact. Tanev may be approximately equivalent in terms of the quality of play, but who knows how he'll mesh with Gio/Hanifin.
