Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Let’s look at the last 2 players in a similar situation as Matthew. Debrincat went for 3 picks. A 1st,2nd, and 3rd. He is 2 years away from UFA so had one more year of team control than Matthew. Not as well rounded of a player, lacks size but still a 40 goal scorer and definitely a great player any team would want to have. Then there’s fiala, an rfa with a year till UFA. He was traded for a mid first and a prospect. He was a ppg guy. Again, not tkachuk good but a great player. Minis it’s had cap trouble so they didn’t have much leverage. Chicago could have done whatever they wanted as their was no reason. Calgary doesn’t have much leverage. Tkachuk already said he’s not signing long term. They have like 3 weeks where the arbitration is going to happen and they likely want to get him moved before that so they aren’t forced to walk him to UFA. He also only has a few teams he would want to sign with. Most of which are also cap strapped and would struggle to Fit in a long term deal. This puts Calgary in a really bad spot to get the highest return but they are definitely going to try. They have to or the organization us screwed.

Couple packages I could see. Blues obviously need to move out salary to make it happen. Bet Doug wishes we didn’t have Leddy 4M now.
