Bergevin needs to be on 2 of Zaitsev, Marleau, Horton, Clarkson, Phaneuf, Callahan and Hanzal. Trade them away with retantion if needed and acquire prospects and picks. I would even go for Lucic and buy him out right before the expansion draft.
Buying out Lucic would be painful, especially on the long term if you want to pay guys like Domi, Gallagher, Kotkaniemi, Poehling, Suzuki(?), etc. + Price and Weber
Buying out Lucic's contract prior to the expansion draft saves under 2 million the first year and less than 450k the 2nd year.
