I think they match 4.5

I think for them not to match the number would be well north of 6

Would be nice but then the next year they counter sn offer sheet pulju an f*** us over

Yeah, Montour is not a good Dman in his own zone, I don’t think it’s worth it to draft him.
I also don’t wanna draft Ty Smith, I’m hoping someone like Noah Dobson falls to us, preforming well in the memorial cup. If we’re left with players like Smith, Veleno, Farabee etc. I think it’s in our best interest to trade for a top defenseman.

I'd imagine they match 4.5. Ducks have 9 plus million in cap space and only real important players to sign are Montour and Kase. In regards to Ty Smith, I love the pick if they decide to keep that spot. Preferably I'd rather them trade back in the draft, maintain the ability to pick a player in the later first round to continue to add to the prospect pool yet add a roster player. Example, trade number 10 to the rangers for the first rounder they have that is Tampa Bay's and get zucarello or krieder from a clearly rebuilding team.
