1) The point is that even with a bunch of optimistic assumptions, there is no way the Sens could afford to sign Stutzle long term after the upcoming season.
2) I assume picks and prospects would be included. I have no idea what picks and prospects would be agreeable to both teams.
3) They are going to be within $4M of the cap this season. The owner always said they would spend when they had the opportunity to contend.
The ultimate point of all this is that I think Stutzle has to sign for one year, and then sign an extension in Jan 2024. The Sens have $5.6M reduction in dead money coming in 2024-25, and the cap is supposed to go up another $1M, so that money would be used for the rest of Stutzle's raise, and for Sanderson's raise. But they have to get through the crunch of 2023-24 first.
