[Aaron Rudnicki]

Buffalo Sabres

7 forwards - O'Reilly, Okposo, E.Kane, Ennis, Girgensons, Foligno, Larsson
3 defensemen - Ristolainen, Bogosian, McCabe
1 goalie - Lehner

Kulikov is a UFA, so the hope would be to sign him to a new deal after the expansion draft. If the Sabres sign him to an extension sooner, then may have to go with the option below (or possibly risk losing McCabe).

4 forwards - O'Reilly, Okposo, E.Kane, Girgensons
4 defensemen - Ristolainen, Bogosian, Kulikov, McCabe
1 goalie - Lehner

Exposed players would be guys like: Moulson, Deslauriers, Carrier, Gorges, Ullmark

To be clear this is what I would do as GM, I don't think there is any way Holland doesn't protect Zetterberg and Kronwall.
