Zero chance of Yzerman paying Raymond $8,500,000 He won't get more than the Alex DeBrincat cap hit 8 x $7,875,000.
We're not buying out Copp for another 6 years of dead money, You seem to forget that Lalonde and Yzerman like the guy.
We're not giving up assets to move Justin Holl, A buyout on Holl is only $1,133,333 or $4,533,332 for 4 years. Still much lower than what we would be paying him for his last 2 seasons.
And Patrick Kane is probably heading to free agency, And there's no way Yzerman is giving him 3 x $7,000,000. 3 x $5,500,000 would be the very best he'd receive from Detroit.
