Veleno will get $925,000/3 years, Kakko will get something similar (will slide up a touch with the cap increase, but at least ~$925,000).
TOR will probably have to trade Johnsson, and if they pair him with Zaitsev, will get more than a 3rd (but not much more, fans always overrate their players). But, I don't think DET should go after Johnsson, he's more of a product of who he is playing with than skill (he is skilled, but not quite to the level he's at now). Johnsson would have to play with Larkin to come close, and not only would he not be ready for 1st line minutes (he would average ~4.5 more minutes/game than he's getting now), there are guys on the team already that would be more valuable there (Zadina, AA, Bert, if Svech comes back to 2017 form he could be a candidate, Ras if he doesn't make it as a C, with Mantha playing the right). Spend the capital on cleaning up the defensive side of the game.
