Not necessarily, Chabot and Zaitsev are the only ones who are under contract at the moment. We need to expose a D.
The others who can be exposed are Lajoie, Jarvis and Englund.
I expect Englund will be gone by then which means we will have to have Lajoie and Jaros under contract. Can’t let them walk so probably both on one way deals.
You're forgetting Wolanin as well (assuming he's kept around same as Lajoie and Jaros).
If the expansion draft was a year earlier the team might run into the issue you've presented, but as is I think we're past the point of that being an issue with this team. "Worst" case scenario the team can take advantage of the fact they have space to spare and trade for another defender prior to expansion happening.
