This is a rough one.
Chicago won't want pending UFA's in Kerfoot and Engvall. They'll take them for cap purposes if the rest of the deal is to their liking...but a single 1st rounder likely won't be their best offer.
How does the cap work when Murray comes back, supposedly this week?
How does the cap work in 2 years when we have 3 more years at $8.5m owing to a 34yr old Karlsson and still have to re-sign Nylander and Matthews?
And why is San Jose going to retain $3m a year for the next 5 years?
For me...this is not giving up enough to acquire the suggested players...as well as punting the future assets and flexibility of this team.
