Stillman resigned... Zadorov decision made?

Hawks just resigned 3rd pairing D Riley Stillman to a 3 / 4.06 (1.35) deal. Couple of things on this:
Avoids RFA / eligible for expansion? / makes Z expendable.
He is a big bodied tough limited skill 3rd pair D man.... and now he is 1/3 the price of Z which tells me Z is going to go during the draft.... likely for a pick 55-85 range. Not great considering Janmark got us a 2nd and 3rd.
If a 2nd was on the table for Z then we should have jumped... if it was a 3rd then I understand the hold.
Either way there are now a ton of D men on the line that are waiting for his spot:
Staying put: DK, Boqer, Mitchell, Kalynuk, Beaudin, Murphy
Coming soon: Regula, Vlasic, Kaiser, Phillips, Krutil,
Likely going: Z, De Haan, Krys
Could have a
Keith - Boqvist
Murphy- Kalynuk
Mitchell - Vet / Beaudin / Regula mix
