Description

Seattle makes a splash in the UFA market by signing RNH to a big contract as their #1 center.
Tampa puts Gourde on waivers for Seattle to claim in exchange for selecting Johnson with their expansion draft pick.
Seattle also picks up some draft picks for taking Loui Eriksson, and promptly sends him to the waiver wire.
Some new contracts are guessed at, others are just ignored for now. Seattle has the ability to trade 3rd liners to other teams for late picks - I'm sure there's some teams out there that wouldn't hate Khaira or Larsson for a 4th.
Remove Seattle's extra dressed players and their cap room increases to ~8M - they have lots of flexibility. Seattle could easily trim the roster down more, send away some guys for late picks, and pick up another bad contract if they want more picks (Ladd is 5.5M). To be fair, Kylington needs a new contract.

I'd be pretty shocked to see Seattle take Watson.

Also 9 mil for RNH is absolutely insane. He should get like 7mil.

Who else would they take from Ottawa? Is it because Watson is a bad guy? I figure they'll overlook that and go for a good value player. Feel free to suggest a better pick from Ottawa.

9M is way too high, sure, but lower and Edmonton matches easily. The point is Seattle wants to make a splash and thus overpays. It's not the worst thing in the world to overpay an actual good player.

As much as I would like Seattle to take Kerfoot, strictly for cap purposes, they'll like take Dermott. Leafs don't have the draft capital anymore to entice SEA to take Kerfoot, and aren't likely to send a prospect over instead because they don't have the draft picks to restock the cupboards.

I like the Eriksson move. I think we somehow end up bribing Seattle not to take Bean or Ned.
