<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>It's really not, if he's choosing to play on a team that's going to be competing for the cup than he will need to acknowledge that he's getting paid under his worth at this point in his career.
Otherwise he can go to a non-contender for 3.5-4M to be a mentor then get traded at deadline with retention.

I cant think of a cup contending team with 4M in space to sign a 35 Y/O, if EDM pursued him for this much it'd be pretty disappointing and limiting for the rest of our lineup.</div></div>

I just can't agree with your logic. 2M is criminally low and EDM needs to find reliable players so they can push their propsects(Holloway, Lavoie, Bourgault, etc). Yoou have to spend more assets to bring in a player with retention to replace Henrique. The cupboards run bare very quickly and EDM can't draft outside of the top 10

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Compared to using the first:
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.

Or just burying him:
3.8M, 3.8M, 3.8M, 0, 0, 0

The buyout is fine the first year, but for years 2 and 3 only saves enough for a 4th liner, and then costs an extra 4th liner for years 4, 5 &amp; 6 (compared to just burying him).

I do agree that buyout is the likely route the Oilers go with this, but it's not the best option.</div></div>

Continuing to spend assets to get rid of problems will just expedite the Oilers into looking like the Penguins! Nothing in the cupboards and praying every season for repeat performances and bargain deals. Gonna miss more often than not. They need to learn how to draft and develop prospects so they can save $$$ by playing those prospects!
Honestly, is any team willing to take 3 years x 5M for a 2025 EDM 1st anyway? Why I think buyout is most likely.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Utah's new owners have already announced they are going to try to make a splash right out of the box, so I think that they'll be after some of the big-ticket no-acquisition-cost free-agent defensemen like Montour, Roy, Pesce, DeMelo, Walker, etc. instead of spending draft capital on mid-range talent like Kulak and Ceci, whom I don't think are worth seconds, anyway.</div></div>

They can say that all they want but they've still gotta draw in players. They also have a ton of draft capital.
Kulak has 2 years remaining and Utah is pretty desperate for Dmen with term. Ceci can move up if needed. Both are competent defenseman who catch a lot of flak because they're not always deployed correctly by EDM. Packaging the 2 together was just because I believe they should both be moved for picks. I wouldn't sewer their value but I'd listen to offers if a 2nd is too much.
