Interesting AGM.
Regarding signings:
Burakovsky, André 6 $5,000,000 ---- probably the right AAV, but expect 4-5 years.
Graves, Ryan 4 $3,500,000 -------- He likely signs for between $2.75m/3 years and $2.5m/2 years. $3.5m would be too much for a relatively unproven guy who will be on the 3rd pair once Byram settles.
Nichushkin, Valeri 3 $2,000,000 - Good signing.
Namestnikov, Vladislav 1 $4,000,000 --- Namestnikov likely isn't returning as he'll look for too much term on his last big contract. Sakic won't go beyond 2023 with him (i.e. Mack's contract year).
Regarding trades, I like the Zadorov one most, that's fair value. Not a fan of giving up on Timmins but that's a fair trade for Rakell. I'm on the fence about Jost, I think it might be a bit early to give up on him still.
I really like your idea about acquiring a CBO if one is available, smart move. NYI have Boychuk and Ladd as CBO candidates so that makes sense. I'm not sure what the value of a $5.5m CBO is, but your guess of a 2nd + 3rd for 5th seems reasonable.
Lastly, Kaut will be on the roster next season. He's a good PKer and PP2 guy so should be a useful bottom 6er for us.
