depending on how far you make it this year i know point will want more then that at least 10

MTL is the wrong team to be looking at sending anyone cap dumps to, they have no cap space.

bye bye all future prospects

I actually changed to 10.5

Well he is playing in Tampa Bay where the taxes are favourable and everyone takes less. And with a flat cap, $10.5 million is a lot closer to market value than it usually would be.

Wings want more

I don't see Katchouk and Raddysh forcing Volkov and Joseph on the 4th line. Likely the other way around.

Wings need more to do Tampa that favor

You could wiggle with this if you sent a Byron and Kulak back the other way, it almost compensates for Gourde's contract coming back the other way. His face off's are at 49%. What concerns me is, he would eventually be playing on 3rd line and that is a lot of money for a 3rd line Centre. Suzuki is already passed Gourde and KK would be by next season. Also, if you are going to pay $5.16 M, you may as well pay that to Danault.
