Well first it's quite unlikely Kerfoot is moved unless it's to bring in an upgrade like Miller or something.
I'd be shocked if he were still here on day 1. All flags point towards trade right now, also for miller or an upgrade like that doesn't inherently make sense - at least not necessarily apart of his trade

Secondly, you keep working with this idea that Klingberg is 100% coming back when he probably isn't.
FFS go back and read like I told you to: "Dallas can match IF they do nothing else this off season, but if they try to keep or replace Klingberg that presents an opportunity to strike on the cheap"

Your math is also bad. Suter does give them 2.6M but they already have a replacement in the lineup with Harley. Dobby is literally in the AHL, he currently doesn't need a replacement at all as he doesn't take up a roster spot.
You need a player in the lineup for Klingberg. That costs money. His 2.6 saved gets eaten into by whoever takes up one of the 23 roster spots he vacates.
Khudobin buyout saves 2.5 mil, him in the minors cost 2.2, so you get 1 mil from moving him. I simplified it for time but their numbers work out the same through buyout. If you trade him (costs assets and/or contracts coming back) and buyout suter you get an additional 3.3 mil combined (best case scenario), which as we already established still is extremely difficult under the best of circumstances cap wise.
You're **** at math lmao
