Killorn will get a better return than that if moved. Palat may give the team a hometown discount with extra term, but likely not one that steep. The oy real way to keep both him and Rutta is to move McD now. They can move McD, keep both Pally and Rutta, plus use the small amount left over for an elc/min contract F or D. They would keep Killorn for one more year, then he's also gone. They could trade Killorn and McD now, lock up Palat and Rutta, plus have enough to fill in the holes at 3LD and LW via the trades/ufa. They would likely target 1 year rentals or cost efficient players, as this would give them the most cap flexibility next offseason and thus a good chance of keeping all the rfas then.
