A challenge of choosing one player from all 24 playoff teams this year but...
You can have 20 regular paid players and only 4 ELC's (my team has; Barzal, Sergachev, Makar and Shesterkin). Also no cheating by adding retained salary players(eg: Kolvie).
Garland, Barzal, Hudon, Sergachev, Makar, and Shesterkin.
Seven if you want to throw in Demko.
What if you swap out Kane for Saad, Jenner for Werenski et E. Staal for Pateryn? Might be able to save some cap that way. Gets another Vet in there too.

Check the player bio on the 3 players you mentioned, Garland, Hudon and Demko are no longer on rookie contracts.
