No way Johnson waives for EDM. He would probably only go to another warm weather contender, if he wants to go at all.

Is Tyler Johnson waiving his full NTC for Edmonton? I think you're stuck with him until the Seattle expansion draft

If the cap goes that high (it won't) and Johnson waives (questionable), I would definitely not do the Buffalo trade. We could afford to keep Killorn, and he hasn't looked like a player I would feel okay with losing this season. Those bridges for Cirelli and Sergachev are really high. I know contracts have gone insane, but still, as good as Cirelli and Sergachev are, we're talking about a 2nd-3rd line two-way center and a borderline top-four defensemen, not elite players who need bridges beyond what Kucherov signed.

Actually, that Sergachev contract is market value. The Cirelli one is a little high, but you have an opportunity to lock up a Selke-type player for the forseeable future.
