The need is to get two ~5m contracts off the books.
I see them doing a protection like:
F: Kucherov, Point, Stamkos, Cirelli
D: Hedman, Sergachev, Cernak, Foote
Exposing: Gourde ($5.17m for 4y), Johnson ($5m for 3yr), Killorn ($4.45m for 2 yr), and Palat ($5.3m for 1yr)

I think Johnson is pretty far down the list in attractiveness to Seattle. Gourde at the top. Will be painful, as I think Gourde is a very good player, but it knocks one of two required contracts off the list.
To get rid of Johnson I think TBL would need to throw in Foote to make it happen. That simply doesn't help as they lose the balance of his good salary, they need the inclusion of Foote's $900k cap hit to make things work.
Then will still need to sign 6+ contracts. Oof going to be tough decisions.

OR just send Kucherov to my Habs. Bam cap issue gone. He's practically begging to go anyway :P
