it's starting to look more & more like even with the ability to leave Hall & Krejci unprotected as UFAs, there's a good chance they'll still have to leave a good forward unprotected. That means one of Frederic, Debrusk or Ritchie is the odd man out.
Dom did a mock expansion draft and had Ritchie getting taken. Leaving Debrusk unprotected, even if he has fallen off quite a bit, is a non-starter because it's better to get something for him if nothing else. Frederic still has too much upside to let go for nothing IMO.
With all that said, I saw an interesting idea on reddit, which was to make a deal with Seattle to let them take Debrusk if they agree to take on Moore (maybe in a trade for a pick). Adjust the pick to be whatever you think balances the scale, but I actually kind of like this idea.
