Going to mix things up a little here with a three-way with the Lightning and Red Wings.
To Tampa Bay Lightning- Johnny Gaudreau ($6,750,000),
To Detroit Red Wings- Oliver Kylington (RFA)
- 1st in 2021 (Lightning)
- Ondrej Palat ($5,300,000)
- Salary Retained on Johnson ($2,500,000)
To Calgary Flames- Anthony Cirelli (RFA)
- Tyler Johnson (via Detroit, $2,500,000)
- 2nd in 2020
Basically the deal is Gaudreau for Cirelli,Johnson and a 2nd, but we give Detroit Kylington to eat half of Johnson's contract and Tampa gives them a 1st in 2021 to take Palat's contract.
This would give Tampa $15m+ to fill out their roster, plus adding another elite winger in Gaudreau who could play opposite Kucherov.
Detroit adds a young defenseman with potential and a first round pick to take Palat and eat 2.5min cap for the next few years, less in real dollars.
Flames get a young #2C and a middle RH RW without adding much if any salary after Cirelli signs.
