The Tatar signing seems very unnecessary when Lorentz is still here, and you have other players who could make the team next year.
I don't think Colton is worth a 2nd, and it would do the same thing for Tampa if you bumped it down to 2.1M, in the range of 3rd round compensation.
If you don't sign Tatar, there's your 4 million back to keep Gardiner, who may LTIRetire because of his back issues and not be an issue when it comes to cap and Bokk, who could also make the jump and be an NHL forward next year. If Gardiner is healthy, then they could bury his contract in the AHL for 1.1MM in cap relief. Holding on to Gardiner for another year also lessens the cost if they absolutely need to ship him out next year, because a team would only be taking 1 year of contract.
Lillegren would be a nice add, but I don't think Toronto does that with that 2nd there. Take the 2nd out and I feel like then it's a fair deal, or at least one that Toronto accepts.
