lots of 1st and 2nd round picks from the larger cap hits and maybe some prospects to back fill for years 22 and 23. Interesting concept.

NSH, BUF, VAN are the only ones I see that would need to cough up something good. NJ has the space so I doubt they care if they have to keep Subban. Voracek produces like a top line player still. Tampa won't pay anything for them to take a guy like Gourde or Palat.

My point was not to see how much reimbursement Seattle could get for taking seemingly undesirable contracts, but to give these players an opportunity where they are relied on heavily and gambling that they can still produce .

I wanted to create a competitive roster based on the idea that one or two of these guys can return to form.
