No way you get Dillon for 2.5. Mikeheyv is boughtout and no need for Lizzote imo. We have a solid 4th line Center in Aman or Karlsson.

Wasn’t sure on how much Dillon would get. Any UFA dman in that range ideally

I’d rather get the complete cap savings by paying to dump Mikheyev rather than buying him out. If we didn’t buy our OEL already I’d be more open to it

Aman is very meh and Karlsson is a winger. Lizotte can add a bit of scoring upside in the bottom 6 that Aman lacks. Isn’t a need though if cap space is needed elsewhere

Vancouver will have to pay a steep price to get rid of Mikheyev. Jason Dickinson made us give up a 2nd rounder and he had 2 years left on his contract at the time with a caphit of 2.5. Nucks probably gives up couple of seconds and prospects. Cap is rising in the near future so i feel like a buyout is a smarter move imo

Dillon probably gets north of 4.5M, likely something in the 5s. I think Brodie or Edmundson could be had for 2.5M.

I think there's a 95% chance that Guentzel re-signs with Carolina. I see Reinhart as more likely to hit free agency, and maybe he would like to play close to home. I do think he'll cost like 10M/season. Best option is probably to target Necas, but not sure if CAR would want just young roster players + futures.
