Why Not

Dont think philly is going to give their 2022 1st round pick away since the draft is going to be stacked

Flyers are going to pass. Konecny is signed long term and the gap between him and Gaudreau isn’t that much

Adding Gio wouldn't be a horrible move for Florida, but I think it probably puts the handcuffs on Florida for expansion, where they'd pretty much have to turn around and pay Seattle to take some salary off of them. If they're adding (Which they should), I'd bet that it's a pending UFA over someone with another high-cap year on his contract.

That’s why I retained on Gaudreau, and added the two seconds. I wasn’t sure if it would be enough, that’s why I ask?

If they retained on Gio would that work? In my scenario they could retain $2 mil for next year.
