Isles save $4.9m for two years then have an extra two years of $2.1 x 2 remaining. Gaudreau has 4g-9a-13pt in 55gp.

Islanders will/should not renew Martin/Clutterbuck's contracts, so there will be space in the bottom 6 for Gaudreau. Pageau could also be dealt.

Net cap hit to MIN is $4.9 x 2. Lee has 17g-12a-29pt in 67gp

MIN can easily fit Lee in next year. Then after 24-25, the buyout costs for Parise/Suter drop off for an additional $14m in space.

Lee comes back to his home town then extends to a lesser number after his current deal expires. Isles make this move to shuffle their top-6
