So Many reason why this is a bad idea. First off St Louis hangs up the phone. No where near enough compensation. Second. Cap is screwed for next year as you'd have 75mil tied up in 12 players. (This site for some reason doesn't record Guentzel's 6 mil on long term projection so i included him in the numbers.) if the cap goes to 83mil that is 8 mil to fill 8 roster spots by resigning or replacing, ZAR, Brassard, Desmith, Pettersson, Riikola, Sheahan, Bleuger, etc. a 3rd line center alone is gonna be at least 3 mil maybe more on the open market.
3rd you have over 5 million scratched between Oleksiak and Johnson.
