NSH would probably ask that you make the 3rd, EDM's 2024 2nd instead. The combination of Sissons and Carrier is worth more than that package considering NSH's current center depth situation. The only player NSH has left in the system who could replace Sissons is Parssinen, and while he has done well finding his game again in the AHL, I don't think he could truly replace what Sissons brings at least right now.
NSH can do the retention on Carrier without any issue, and Carrier was Ekholm's partner for several years, so while Ekholm and Bouchard have been great, Carrier provides some extra defensive flexibility.
