I'm wondering which RFA players among the following six do folks here think will get a Qualifying Offer (or contract directly)?

Andrew Sturtz Jake Lucchini Joseph Blandisi Antoine Waked Aaron Luchuk Michael McNiven
McNiven for me should be back. Among the skaters, Blandisi is someone I would like to see return. And if I'm to add another one, it would be Lucchini. Both players looked good when they came in from the Pens.
Lucchini with 5 pts (4G, 1A) in 8 GP and Blandisi with 4 pts (1G, 3A) in 4 GP.
Lucchini would not count as a veteran. And Blandisi would count as a "veteran exempt" because he has played more than 260 pro games but less than 320 (he's played 289 games between NHL and AHL).
Sturtz, Waked, and Luchuk can go.
But if Blandisi and Lucchini aren't back, I won't be upset either.
