That doesn't get Konecny even without the retention

Only a 20 man roster, maybe don't sign Compher and use that mony to bring in another 3-4 players with his 5.3m to have a complete roster? If you really want Compher, then maybe it's you don't sign Erod and sign 3 players to have a 22 man roster?

Way too much for JTC with the Avs, Let the Hawks pay him that

Exactly. I wouldn't want to see anything over $4.5M for JTC. I'm guessing that the inflated FA projections start to come down as it's becoming clearer that teams are liking the trade market better than the FA class. Maybe we don't have to pay so much for ERod or JTC, but I'm guessing Chicago still outbids us on JTC anyway.
