Idk if I would get too upset. Obviously it stings this year, given how dominant you guys were expected to be, but there is no other team set up for future success quite like the avs. Grubauer isnt going to require a huge payday once hes up, Makar and Landeskog are going to require raises, but your current cap space plus what you get from Cole probably leaving is enough to cover that, and then Mackinnon hitting FA at the same time as Johnson isnt quite ideal but I think you could make a reasonable swap for a RD to play behind Makar if Johnson walks. There is gonna be enough money to go around so long as nobody actually WANTS to walk, which I dont see why they would.
