This is pure speculation, but I believe that Bergevin will ask for his buyout targets to have a (other) chance to redeem themselves, even tho it will be almost impossible for Gomez to avoid a buyout, given next years salary situation.
I can't see Bergevin burning one year of Galchenyuk ELC on a short season coming off a 15th place, unless he scores 5 goals in his 6 game tryout.
