I also don’t think ikonen will be getting an ELC. He has always been hurt and even when healthy really not shown that much.
I agree with your deal for lekky, but I think you’ve got the structure of the deals for danault and Tatar backwards. I think it’s more likely danault resigns on a cheaper short term deal to try and rebuild some of his lost value this season and Tatar would sign a cheaper long term deal for security as he really hasn’t been as successful anywhere else.
Protections make sense, but I wonder if MB could convince Weber to allow himself to be unprotected. Seattle isn’t going to take that cap hit with his production and it would allow us to either protect chiarot or kulak instead.
Depends on how NSH finish the season, but I still think ekholm will cost a little bit more (even on an expiring deal) than olofsson. In fact I think olofsson is done with the Habs anyways, kind of similarly to ikonen and with more promising prospects being picked this year. I would think ekholm would cost more like two decent prospects (tuch, struble, Harris) and the picks attached. But honestly, I don’t think they’ll move him now and might look to resign with the way the younger guys have been contributing and making them very competitive.
