they're not going to pay for our garbage. they don't have the cap room. ROR and nylander for panarin is a better possibility. they're not going to give up a cost-controlled bjorkstrand.

They don't hold the leverage, Panarin is not going to resign with them. Plus this has almost no barring on their cap space seeing as how Panarin makes 6 Mill and Bjorkstrand will probably get around 3 mill so cap wise its almost a wash. If anything it opens up long term cap space for them to land a bigger player in FA.
