Yeah, maybe.
I think Hamilton and Landeskog cost 9mil each. And Dandanault is probably 5mil, maybe even 5.5mil.
And I think they want to play some youth. Take out Savard and play Fleury with Lauzon as 7th and that defense is fairly respectable. Im not convinced of its offense, its awfully centered on Hamilton's production though, especially at Giordano's age, as Larsson/Oleksiak/Dunn/Soucy aren;t big pt producers.
While I like the bottom 6 forwards, the top 6 are weak. DOnskoi and Jarnkrot are better on 3rd line than 2nd. But a bottom 6 of Jarnkrot/Donskoi/Appleton/Tanev/McCann/Geekie/Pitlick is really good.
Dandanault is good, but is he 2C good? maybe SEA's 1st rounder goes on 2nd line and take the remaining 5mil in cap and grab a schwartz or hoffman and that 2nd line of 1st rounder/Dandanault/Hoffman-Schwartz isn;t too bad.
Overall, SEA probably needs another puck mover/pt producer (not saying this guy, but Gostisbehere or Rasmus Risto comes to mind) and they need at least one more bonafide top 6 forward in that 3.5-5.5 range (Schwartz/Hoffman/Kilhorn come to mind)
