Two of those guys for a defenseman at a lesser salary than the two combined. That's where the Risto speculation was headed. Kerfoot and Johnsson headed the other way saves 1.9M, and then bring up Korshkov and Bracco. Buffalo can eat a million to make Toronto compliant and it works for both sides, with Ceci moving on and replacement level players on the fourth line.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll try everything in their power to keep the big 4 together, but they were going to struggle to do that before the flat cap happened.
