and then trade him in two years for a first round pick

that much??

Youd have to pay a lot more than 11.5M to outbid the Avs by enough to convince MacKinnon to leave

You and what cap?

Nashville takes that and runs

Am confuse. This fits under the cap

With Lehner on LTIR, and a 20 man roster. One short term injury and you wouldn’t even be able to ice a full roster. Also, if Mackinnon goes to free agency, he’ll get better offers. Tavares got 11 mil when the cap was lower, and he was never on Mackinnons level.

You dont think he would want to play for the above super team in Vegas w/ low taxes?

This isn’t a super team, this is one that has no cap space. Kane wouldn’t sign that either. Lehner isn’t just going to go on LtIR because you need more room. A 20 player roster is not feasible in the NHL.

Caps laugh at that offer. Vegas couldn’t get a single first for Karlsson at this point.

Okay I made some edits; and ppl shock the world sometimes. Don't think Kane will make much more than this tbh unless he plays for a team on the cusp. A lot of the GOOD teams dont have much cap. With the recession, I dont see the cap soaring like some ppl think

Lehner needs hip surgery ... and gets injured all the time. My bet is he will LTIRetired and pull a Ben Bishop sometime before his contract is up

Am confuse. The 1sts are going the other way

Alright I misread it - I’ll see myself out.

This would be the most stacked top two lines in NHL history IMO.
