Sharks take the full value of all three contracts.

Anderson's deal would cost a 1st & 2nd to unload, and Armia's & Dvorak's combined would require a 3rd & 6th as sweeteners.

Montreal not only frees up about $14 million to pursue FAs, but also has the option to sign or flip Zadina and can bury Knyzhov - just like SJ - at a cap hit of merely $100,000.
