Quoting: DarylthePony
Here's how it goes: Getzlaf, Perry, Rakell, Silfverberg, Fowler, Vatanen, Lindholm, and Bieksa. Trade Manson.
Kesler has to be protected too (NMC).
Carlyle loves Fowler and uses him in all situations. I think they start talking extension this summer and protect him, Lindholm, and Bieksa (yuck). Getz, Perry, Kesler, Silfverberg, Rakell, Cogs, and maybe they trade for another forward to protect.
Then they lose only one of Manson/Vatanen. If they trade one of them for that 7th forward, they'd still lose the other in the expansion draft so I think they're better off trading picks for said forward.
Detroit, Tampa, Columbus, Nashville, Florida, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, and Winnipeg might be willing to trade a solid forward they won't be able to protect for picks rather than lose them for nothing.
