You ain't getting out from Strome that easily.

Stamkos on a 2 year deal would be awesome. Not sure that he’d actually consider it, but give Killorn the offseason task of recruiting and say a prayer.

It’d absolutely cost more to move Strome

We have no need at all for Des. Johnston fills the role, and id way rather play Jones, Lundestrom, Leason, etc

Take out the 4th from the Jackets, add another 4th going to the Jackets, and it's still an immediate and easy "no". Add 50% retention to Strome and it becomes a considered and contemplated "no". The bribery required to take on that kind of AAV and term for a player we neither want nor need is much, much higher.

Flyers love Deslauriers and he only makes 1.75 million. A fourth isn't gonna be enough to pry him out.
