Seems like a lose-lose tbh. EK could get more and Buffalo should only do this for 4+ mil retention. Everyone will be getting paid soon, so its best to get EKs deal down to 7-8 or so IMO

Buffalo seems like the last team that needs EK65 with Dahlin and Powers.

If anyone from the Sharks went there, I figure it'd be Couture.

No way Sharks would even get this for EK65, even with retention. Nobody is vying for that contract.

That’s not a bad cap hit to take. The cap is going up in 24-25 and we have a lot of room.
