And who knows what "worst case" looks like in a year. Maybe Bennett/Dube/Mangiapane become untouchable and Backlund is exposed. Or maybe Gaudreau is traded for an expansion-exempt player and we don't sign Hall.
Lots of moving parts, but unless they choose Kylington or the unsigned D, we're going to be losing a player that's been playing well in these playoffs.

If we have 13 good players and lose 1, we're still better off than in we only have 10 good players and can protect them all
