not at that cap hit

I thought Benning got the sack

Well, yeah you'll end up getting him cause TOR won't match.

But are you sure you want to do it?

That Liljegren deal and contract could potentially go very very wrong, seems like a bad gamble to me

Underrating liljegren. He’s been top pair caliber all season. This contract is right in line with other RFA defensemen 2nd contracts such as Carlo, Marino, Pettersson, toews,

Will absolutely take the compensation for TL.

Theres a reason the only 2 offersheets in the past 10 years was 2 GM's going at each other


Offersheets create tension and players rarely sign them as its not a good look on there part.

That said you want to give him that much go ahead. We will take those picks as maybe the 1st will be top 15 in a stacked draft.

Also Boeser's QA is 7.5mill and I doubt hes gonna take less as hes got Arbitration

Terrible idea. How about we use that money on somebody with more experience

sign benning instead

6 years doesnt many any sense since its bumping up the pay scale you'll have to compensate Toronto for. You want to go 1 year shorter with a salary a bit lower. Still in the 4s but the very low end of them.

The whole point is if you only do 4 million then it’s only a 2nd round pick and Toronto will find a way to match because it’s not worth it to let him go for so little. By making it a 1st and 3rd, it’s more difficult for Toronto to match and they will be more likely to accept the compensation
