Keep Saad hes been playing very well this season

Teams want him and would pay a high price for a playoff run
Keeping saad also won’t be good for us
We have to sign lehner, kubalik, and Strome

A 1st would be nice, but Shaw is likely on LTIR a lot longer. Use that cap space and Toffolis 4 million and they are fine. Strome will likely command between 5 and 6 million I'd have to guess. Kubalik should get a 1 year deal around 3 mil to prove himself again kind of like Karlsson with Vegas

I feel like Saad by himself could get a 1st plus from a contender at the deadline. He isn't a rental so he'd have that extra year of production. Probably a similar return to Kevin Hayes otherwise i wouldnt move him

100% correct. Selling Saad for only a 1st would be an asinine move

Hang on... If Seabrook retires doesn't that mean we have to pay him 3 and a half million for the next 10 YEARS?

If he retires we don’t pay anything....
Idk what made you think of that
We only pay if we buy him out

Vancouver is still paying Lounongo though

Because salary retention

That’s because he was found guilty of cap circumvention. If you retire, you don’t get paid nor do you count against the cap.

I’m guessing Strome gets $5-6M. He’s young, is a bigger center, and has put up over 60 points last year and was on pace for one this year until he was injured.
