Perron is atleast getting $5.5M, maybe $6.5M... Although you still would be below the cap.

Even if we sign Carlson at 8.5M, Stastny at 8M and Perron at 6.5M... we would still be under the cap

I know, I said that, I’m just saying Perron will likely get higher than what you offered.

I agree, there is no argument here

you've really offered nothing long term, for a potential star in bordstrom. petry and chucky doesn't even get you slavin and you want young roy too.

Slavin is Carolina's #1D. You're not getting him for that little. I'm not sure you can get him at all, really.

Isn't it Hanifin now?

you have so many LHD coming up, Fleury, Bean -> you get a first line winger and a top 4 RHD (with more points than Slavin). but yeah, players or picks could be added

Nope; Hanifin's still supporting cast, and likely to remain that way (albeit potentially really really good supporting cast). And RHD is pretty well covered as is. And the value Slavin delivers goes well beyond points scored (particularly since his skillset in defending is one that Petry is having increasingly serious troubles with). The only scenario in which it makes sense to move Slavin is if doing so solves the missing #1C problem the Canes have had since EStaal started to take seasons off - and even then it's unlikely he'd be the guy to be moved, and Montreal is hardly in a position to address that scenario in any case.
