Try at least $12 million per for John Tavares, Both Larkin and Mantha are at least $2 million underpaid. No way would DeKeyser waive for Arizona and he wont be dealt for picks but an upgrade on D.

Only person worth 12m in the league is McDavid/Matthews. Kane and Toews both are at 10.5, those are comparable. I did 10m because state taxes are lower than NYs by about 5%, and I think him and Nielson are friends, good chance he likes Detroit as a destination. DKs NTC doesn't kick in until 2021. If Larkin gets paid more than 6 I would be shocked. Both him and Mantha are RFAs, limited bargaining power. Rethinking it Larkin is probably 1m low, Mantha maybe .5m, he's lazy AF. I don't think i'm that far off. The AZ trade I think makes sense, they have the cap room, and getting a player under contract is something they would value since no one wants to sign there. Hopefully they get the first overall, I think they would be very interested in dealing with Detroit for those picks, the draft is supposedly deep..
