Whats Reilly likely get ad a contract

Probably 6-7mill AAV at least

$6.5m x 6 years is my guess

Sabres probably accept

I'd rather keep Severson than rent Rielly for half a season.
Subban is available.

Well, the Kings probably aren't doing that.

He will get overpaid and my guess is he gets north of $7M. Rielly makes no sense for the Devil's. You guys are in no rush right now and have time to let your guys develop.

Kerfoot = under team control for one more year at $3.5 million

Kempe = under team control for at least two more years, this year $1.5 million cheaper, might be no more expensive than Kerfoot

The future third doesn't make up for the difference

Well, yes.
But my reasoning was more our LHD pipeline:

Ty Smith
Ryan Graves
Jonas Siegenthaler
Kevin Bahl
Luke Hughes
Shakir Mukhamadullin
Ethan Edwards
Nikita Okhotyuk
Daniil Misyul
Michael Vukojevic
Topias Vilen

I think we should find a few in there somewhere. Hughes plays RD, so even without him, it shouldn't be a weakness.

And Smitty is comfortable on the right as well

Bahl too. Played RD next to Okhotyuk for 67s

Excellent! I read where Siegenthaler is comfortable there as well. Maybe its just a matter of grooming these guys with development time! would be the best news since landing 7 and 33!
