Vegas isn’t trading Karlsson. They can use Lehner’s contract on LTIR. I don’t see why the Jackets move Gubranson and retain for a player that is worse. Marchenko if he were to get an extension of 8 years would definitely and rightly so should accept no less than 6.5 annually. Remember, when giving contract extensions you have to think about we are trying buy FA years. Marchenko projects to be a 60 point guy. He shouldn’t sell himself for less.

Timmnins for Gudbranson retained is a terrible idea for the Jackets; that's the opposite of the direction our defense needs to be going in, and we'd end up with net negative "cap savings" as a result of re-filling the hole we just opened back up.
