I don't think Eakin signs for that little, but at the price I'd love to keep him. I'm hoping for a trade for a long term solution though as my preferred option.
We also will keep Perreault, especially if the cost to move him is a 2nd rounder. We're sitting here with $7M in capspace. Unless you have a plan to use it, keep Perreault instead of signing Joakim.
I also agree that you probably don't sign DeMelo and Hamonic. You've signed Hamonic at almost $5M per to play on the 3rd pair when we already have Poolman who is just entering his prime. I don't think we'd need both and I'd need Hamonic to come in at DeMelo and Edmundson money to even consider it.
With that said, if you're trading Poolman with other assets to get a Cirelli this shows that we would have the capspace to make that work. It also shows that instead of DeMelo and Hamonic we could offer that $9.5M to Pietrangelo and go Petey, Pionk, Poolman on the right side as well.
Lots of options and if Little is out on LTIR but that means we do need to get a 2C for now and the future.
