I don't think we'd take any of those players for free. We have nine, count 'm 9, LD's under contract or in the system, so we wouldn't take Johnson unless he came with a first-round pick, and I doubt we'd take him even then. Rodrigues is a bottom-6 forward and we'd rather give playing time to some of the youngsters we have on ELCs (like Comtois, Lundestrom or Groulx). Bjugstad isn't necessary at center (Getzlaf, Henrique, Steel, Zegras) or RW (Silfverberg, Terry, Rowney, and lefties). And there's no need for us to shift Kesler's contract or move Rowney, who is the perfect fourth-liner.
