This is a great way to become the Maple Leafs. Too many top heavy contracts that they won't be able to fill out their depth. With this trade, They'll have Makar, MacKinnon (assuming he takes a very friendly contract of 10 mil), Landeskog, Rantanen, Eichel, and Girard all taking up significant amount of cap. That is just over one forward line, and one pair of D taking up about 62% of cap space in three years. This isn't even counting Newhook, Johnson, Byram, Compher all will be on new contracts then, and its likely most of them will be relatively large. At that point, and extra 5 mil or so will be important. I'm high on Eichel, but with MacKinnon, the Avs don't need him.
