The Habs already showed they were willing to go $8.45M. anything before $10.5M only costs two 1sts. Can Tampa really afford a $10M cap hit?

Can Tampa afford to lose a 90 point player for a couple measly first round draft picks?
15M to sign Point, Erne, Paquette and a depth player or two for this year. If Point took up 10M of that it would be challenging especially with already relying on Callahan's LTIR, but it would make far more sense for them to move one of the depth forwards (Gourde, Johnson, Palat, Killorn) for cheaper replacements than to lose Point for peanuts if it came to that. And then deal with the Vasilevskiy and Sergachev contracts next year.
