That's nearly $10M in NHL dollars changing hands. How doesn't it work?
Replace Bennett and Stone with journeymen vets/prospects - we're talking about our #5D and a middle 6 forward, we can't replace that on the cheap? Especially if we have Price in net?

Because you still have to fit two players on the roster to replace Bennett and Stone. They will likely make nearly a million each.
Don’t know if you’ve noticed but depending on what Lindholm and Hanifin make we may already be in cap trouble. So fitting in another couple million may not be an easy matter. As it is we may have to buyout Brouwer just to fit Lindholm, Hanifin and the other RFAs
And then next season Tkachuk gets a huge raise. That’s where the real problem with Price’s contract starts to hurt
