There might be better bottom pairing options than Mike Reilly, but this seems reasonable

TJ is gonna cost more than that to dump his cap. Seattle is going to want a sweetner to take McDonagh. Cal Foote qualifying offer is more than that. Coleman and Goodrow both get more cash. No chance JBB spends 2.5 mil on a backup like McDonagh said after last nights game we hung Mac out to dry. ABB , Raddysh, Katchouk,and Colton's QO are all more than that.

Colton and ABB would be one way “prove it deals”

If you don't offer a qualifying offer they can become UFA's like Carter veheaghe or Jonathan marchesault.

U can offer QO’s and sign them for less than that if it’s a one way deal. That’s what we did with Mitchell Stephens

Why wouldn't they just accept the qualifying offer?

Canes would take Palat with that one year deal. Would save more cap space than moving Killorn.

One way deals mean they get paid the same in the AHL, so it basically confirms they’ll be in the nhl.

ABB won't be waivers exempt next year so i definitely don't see him accepting.
