15M between the pipes seems indeed unreasonable, but it is for two years only, while Primeau develops in the AHL and our top-3 centers’ salary combine for less than 6 M. Plus we need an unprotected G for the expansion draft. I don’t see how the MIN trade is unrealistic; the pick swap is there because Brodin is not signed beyond 2021. As for Huberdeau, maybe I reached a little by not including Caufield in the mix, but would be open to it in FLA’s counter-offer... As for Comtois, I like his potential and can understand why the Ducks wouldn’t move him, but I at least hope they make adequate room for him next year!
Finally, in regards to the lines I built, I followed players’ chemistry and complementarity, hence the reason why Armia, Comtois and Greenway are spread out to give size on each of their lines. The only exception is the pure offensive line of Suzuki and the Jonathans. I wouldn’t say that Kotkaniemi’s line is the second and Danault’s third, more like 2A and 2B, with their ice-time managed depending on the opponent and the score. I also put Kotkaniemi on the first PP line (replacing Huberdeau, who takes point with his awesome playmaking) so that Danault can center the second wave, keeping everyone happy!
