I think we should just trade Palat. Then we can give these guys more money on their deal and therefore an extra year, so we hopefully don't have too much of a problem next year with Point's extension. Who knows, maybe Johnson will have a good year and we can trade him without a sweetener, a much less valuable sweetener, or (this part is a real dream) trade him for actual value in return

Palat and Johnson free up $11M for 2021 ... that needs to happen .. we have NO Penalty Killers !!!! .. (oh that 3rd line was great) .. and can't have rookies.on PK .. look for Paquette and maybe 2 additional new UFAs for 3rd/4th for PK alone .. and no Killorn and Johnson aren't great on PK and we prefer not to have Cirelli doing it

Killorn, Cirelli, and Colton play the PK. My guess is the other guy would be Stephens, but the forwards one the Pk will be a weak spot this year. You can't lose 3 of your main 5 guys and expect it to be strong
