Locking up the Core of this team to a cap hit no higher than $6.75M is great work. This summer with Stajan expiring and Brouwer bought out all that bad money in the bottom 6 is gone. Frolik and Ryan represent the $7M in the bottom 6 and that is a big upgrade.
I am interested to see what Hanifin comes in at but I am guessing 5.5M for 6 years. Hope they can get 7 though.

I imagine they "would have". Now, "could have" is different. The option may not have been available from Gaudreau's perspective.
