I'm guessing we'd probably have to offer in the $5,046,586 to $6,728,781 range to get him to sign which would mean first, second and third-round pick compensation. At that price Boston might match though, even though it would be cap chaos for them. |
I would happily offer 6 x $6.7M to Hamilton, but I think that gets matched easily. I think its pretty easy for them to clear room, they might just give up a draft pick to have someone eat Loui Eriksson's contract, or dump off Lucic to Edmonton. They just signed Torey Krug for a year probably hoping some contracts get off the books and they can book him longer, I would imagine if Hamilton gets OS'ed, the crux wouldn't be fitting in Hamilton, it would be what would they do with Torey Krug next year.
I don't think it will happen though .... optics of it would look pretty bad.
