The timeline doesn’t work for Dallas from a cap perspective. Adding $6M this offseason is tough enough as it is, but Dallas isn’t really going to have the necessary cap space next offseason to give Guentzel the extension he’s going to be looking for.
Dallas is going to be pretty reliant on guys like Johnston, Stankoven, and even Bourque to provide reliable, cheap, scoring options for the team while they’re on their ELCs. Until Benn’s contract is up, I’m not sure Dallas is the best fit for any player that’s going to want big-money in the near future.
