Meant it more as a general idea of what a structure could look like, honestly tough to know what Stamkos value is right now.

I think it could be gone about a couple ways. Swap the 1st for a 3rd/4th and I think it's close. Or, remove the first outright and take Johnson too. I think saving $7m in the deal would really appeal to Tampa.
We could make it work too. The following scenario leave about 110k in cap space
to CGY: Stamkos, Johnson
to TBL: Gaudreau, Kylington
to CGY: Best possible pick (5th?)
to ???: Ryan
to CGY: Ristolainen, 3rd in '20 (#99)
to BUF: Backlund
Re-sign Mangiapane 2 x 2.500m
Re-sign Rieder & Quine 1 x 0.700m
Sign Markstrom 7 x 5.000m (tacked on a couple extra years to ensure we can get him for 5m AAV)
Sign Galchenyuk 1 x 1.750m
Sign Boyle 1 x 0.850m
