Quick question. Say a team offersheets KK for 4x4, Do you think MTL would match? Id love to see it happen and he seems like a good target because MTL is trying to add big names

Not sure there's a team that would want that kind of cap hit for a player who is still very much a project, but with the compensation being just a 2nd-round pick, I suspect the Habs would have to take the hit and pay for it by dealing Byron, which would mean giving away a pick or another prospect.

Hyman, good deal. Colorado won’t let landeskog go.

In your scenario you have no back up tender and gally playing on 4th line

For 4x4 they'd probably match, but that would be insanely unlikely. Teams can't offer sheet until after the entry draft and it's doubtful KK won't have signed before then.

More than that, I doubt KK would sign that sheet; not out of loyalty or anything, but simply because he'd want a short term deal to drive his price up.

I would only do the 2nd rounder payment anyways. A first plus a third is too expensive imo
