Carolina can't take EK at 8, would need further retention

The retention would cost more assets. I’d want at least a 1st to retain that much for 4 years and use up a retention slot.

Chicago is your best bet to find a Karlsson laundering partner. Anaheims going to need that cap space before his deal is over, or just retain the extra amount yourself.

Value wise, Canes take it. They would need EK at a lower cap hit though, so SJ would have to eat the maximum they are willing to, and Chicago or Arizona would have to eat about 3mil to bring it close to 5-6mil. Unfortunately, whether he ends up with Pittsburgh or Carolina, or some mystery dark horse team, SJ is going to have to take it in the shorts with retention.

What's the max cap hit threshold you think Canes/Pens would accept EK65 at? 7? Lower?
