Josh Anderson has 60 pts over the past three years, other than the 2018-'16 season he has never scored more than 32 pts.
Rasmus Asplund a solid defensive center collected 27 pts last year while earning only $825,000.
Vinnie Hinostroza scored 13 goals and 25 pts and was paid less than a fifth of Josh.
Over the next 5 seasons Josh will paid $30,500,000 real dollars and he carries and AVV of $5,500,000 so his actual salary is greater than his cap hit of $27,500,000.
In what world would a GM give up GK who has the future of Levi for an over paid RW who at best is a 30 pt forward?
Eklund can speculate, but I assure you Karmanos will not be trading any assets to help Kent Hughes get below the cap ceiling unless there are serious sweeteners included in the deal.
EDIT
I suppose if Kent were to add 2023 Florida first and 2025 Calgary first (early second round picks) Karmanos may listen.
$30,500,000 for 32 pts/yr will be a hard sell.
