Cut Copper Line Set, Power Off all winter, No Pressure, How bad?

LG LMU369HV with 4 indoor units.
Northern Indiana climate.

Unit has operated great for 5+yrs til a tree fell last fall and damaged copper lines between outdoor unit and home wall - Room A only.

Local HVAC service inspected and will be coming back with the "Installation team".
a) The outdoor unit has been off since before the tree incident
b) The line length to Room A was 14' before cut.
c) The cut in the line to Room A is at 8'.
d) Negligible oil was noticed at the line cut at the time of the cut (last fall) and none since.
e) The service pro removed the service port cap and found no pressure when he pressed the valve.

Aside from replacing the cut lines to Room A and pressure testing... what might the fix or fixes be from less likely to most likely?

Hoping to ask smart questions of my local pro.

Thanks!
