I doubt anyone is going to take Nuge without sending a contract back, he's just not worth a 6 million dollar a year hit right now.
Larson and Klefbom are both pretty good, however with the Edmonton salary structure the way its going to be they are effectively out of the free agent market, and they don't have the assets to acquire a top pairing defensemen unless Draisaitl is moved out for example.
