Here’s the thing.
I think Strome would want in the $5M range, he is on a close to 70 pt pace. 3 years he may take in $4.5M range, but also can easily say “I’ll sign elsewhere” and be offered 4-5 years for a little more $. It probably comes with a 2nd round draft comp or something? TDA seems pretty close, but also seeing Trouba get $8M so idk what TDA is thinking. Can’t keep buying out contracts just to become cap compliant. Can bury Smith in AHL and it’s like a $400 grand difference or something, then he’s off the books completely. If some reason Hank retires it’s $3M cap hit not $5.5M cap hit plus 2 years from now dead cap hit. Lastly, even IF this all worked out, for injury purposes, you need a lot over $333K for emergency call ups and all.
