I’d be good with this. Perreault’s money goes to Laine next year, probably lose Copp or Lowry as cap casualty. Seattle takes Harkins, Appleton, or Niku. I’d like to pay Pietro 1-1.5 less, but that’s probably what it takes to make him come to Winnipeg.

Only catch would be this is contingent on Little being 100% finished with hockey, otherwise you need to leave room for his cap hit to come back.

Little probably not letting fear or common sense get in the way of fighting to continue his career, but wife, doctors and team management probably reason with injury history, age, and future quality of life probably shut him down. I was thinking the same at the 8.5 or 9, but was hoping the 5x10 would be enough to draw interest
