You can look at the buyout on here, and you can see why. The next two years make it not worth it, the buyout gets way better if we wait 2 years

I don't think the Sabres move Jack and Sam together, they could get more splitting them up IMO, however that is a good return but I don't see how the Kings could afford that both unless a cap dump came back

I'd be amazed if Hamilton signed anywhere for less than $7.5 million, Eklund won't last to #8 and both Los Angeles and Philadelphia decline. You can argue whether Ristolainen is worth a second or a third, but there's no dispute that he's not worth both, and I think most GMs have decided to wait and see how Eichel's recovery goes before making any high-value offer for him.
