As a Flyers fan, in no way shape-or-form is Gudas worth $3.5M.. that said it is free agency and who knows what the market will be like. Would be a solid pickup to have a big guy on the right side, but aim to sign in the $2-2.9M range if possible!

I hesitated between giving him 3 mil per for 2 years or 3,5 mil for 1 year...

It sucks because he'll be a UFA and they normally get paid more than they're worth. So you're proposal is actually realistic! I'm just saying hopefully they lock him up for lower cash and it would be a win for them.

if we have the cap space San Jose accepts

With how tight the cap is, I could see him going sub 3 on a 1 or 2 year deal. Flat cap is gonna be around for a few years, and playing on a supper offensive team will probably artificially pump his offensive stats a bit and may make his post-Leafs contract easier.

Not sure why you have 3 spares and no one in the 4th line LW spot though lol.
With your team id go..
Mikheyev Tavares Marner
Hyman Matthews Nylander
Robertson Paquette Kappy
Engval Spezza Barbie

Reilyl Gudas
Muzzin Holl
Sandin Dermy
Lehtonen

Move Marincin down
900k cap to spare!

Paq may not be a good 3C, but id prefer to not take Nylander out of the top 6 after such a great and dominant season.

I mean San Jose has very little interest in Kerfoot, and we don't really want to trade Chekhovich...but for that price we probably take it. That's too good of a deal to pass on.
