Not worth it for Patrick. His offersheet would be around a 3rd round pick alone and with his lack of production, poor underlying numbers, and massive injury history/concern.. he's not worth much more than that 3rd round pick, maybe a later 2nd. I wouldn't be moving a quality 3rd pair defenceman with a little bit of upside in addition to a 3rd for him - Leafs pass.
I'm more than willing to bet that Kerfoot is traded before the expansion draft and Dermott is likely taken by Seattle instead.
For a only.a 6th round pick, I think it's smarter to keep Engvall. If you bury him in the minors it's only $125K against the cap and he could be useful if there's injuries that come up. So unless a team overpays (doubt they do), just keep him for more depth.
Coleman is a good add, especially if Hyman leaves. But I don't think he signs below $4M if he gets 5+ years. I think a more realistic offer is around $3.4M x 4 years but if it goes over 5 years I could see him being over $5M per season.
Erik Haula doesn't fit what Keefe wants as a 3C. He wants a defensive minded guy and that's not Haula. & Craig Anderson is a horrible idea for a backup goalie when Campbell is still unproven ovef a full season and has injury concerns around him. I wouldn't trust Anderson with 2 straight starts let alone 10+ if Campbell gets hurt again.
