Another factor to consider: this is the best UFA class in a decade.

Erik Karlsson, 29
Artemi Panarin, 27
Matt Duchene, 28
Jeff Skinner, 27
Kevin Hayes, 27
Micheal Ferland, 27
Joonas Donskoi, 27
Jordan Eberle, 29
Joe Pavelski, 34
Mats Zuccarello, 31
Gustav Nyqvist, 29
Tyler Myers, 29
Jake Gardiner, 28
Marcus Johansson, 28
Colin Wilson, 29
Sergei Bobrovsky, 30
Semyon Varlamov, 31

If you have an organizational need come July 1, you can address it with straight cash. Why give up multiple first round picks to overpay Matthew Tkachuk (and ensure Brad never takes your calls again) when you can overpay a veteran and keep your picks?
