I don't think you need to pay that much for Killorn. He's a solid player but it's mostly a cap dump for Tampa. They are stuck with the cap and you accommodate them by taking a contract, So it's up to them to pay, not you! You take Killorn, you can give an asset like AJ Greer for example. You take $4.5M in cap hit for another 3 years so you don't give a 1st round pick.
Cernak = Zadorov except right-handed. You are not improving.
COL like Graves a lot. He's under team control (and cheap) for another 2 years. You can just qualify him for a year and wait for arbitration. Or re-sign him for a 2 years bridge around $2M per. If traded, I would be surprised, but it will be in a package deal for an impact player (Laine maybe?)
