Yes, we are overpaying in each deal, but you're going to have to move salary at this point. The goal is to get the pieces that make the team stronger where we are weakest.
Tkachuk($7.0M)-Monahan($6.375M)-Lindholm($4.85M)
Mangipane($2.75M)-Frost($864k)-Toffoli($5.0M)
Dube($779K)-Bennett($2.55M)-Armia($2.6M)
Lucic($5.25M)-Gawdin($750K)-Robinson($700K)
Rinaldo($700K)
($40.168)
Giordano($6.75M)-Kylington($750K)
Hanifin($4.95M)-Andersson($4.55M)
Gostisbehere($4.5M)-Tanev($4.5M)
Valimaki($895K)
($26.895)
Markstrom($6.0M)
Rittich($2.75M)
($8.75)
$75.813M + 2.67M BO = $78.483 ($3.017 cap space less bonuses)
The other alternative is to change the deal with Philadelphia.
Gaudreau ($6.75M) + 2nd for Sanheim($3.25M) + Frost ($864K) + 1st ($4.174)
That could allow us to take a run at Hall changing the lineup.
Tkachuk($7.0M)-Monahan($6.375M)-Lindholm($4.85M)
Hall($8.0M)-Frost($864k)-Mangipane($2.75M)
Dube($779K)-Bennett($2.55M)-Armia($2.6M)
Lucic($5.25M)-Gawdin($750K)-Robinson($700K)
Rinaldo($700K)
($43.168)
Giordano($6.75M)-Kylington($750K)
Hanifin($4.95M)-Andersson($4.55M)
Sanheim($3.25M)-Tanev($4.5M)
Valimaki($895K)
($25.645)
Markstrom($6.0M)
Rittich($2.75M)
($8.75)
$75.813M + 2.67M BO = $78.483 ($1.267 cap space less bonuses)
Two ways of changing the dynamics of the lineup.

If Johnny was on the market there'd likely be a lot more smoke. (we shall see)
Backlund would be Captain if not for Gio, the Flames are trying to bring in more leadership (ie: Tanev) not ship it out.
I see you calling others out for suggesting trades with no salary coming back and here you are doing the same with Ryan?
We could perhaps see Välimäki in the top 4 soon but Kylington will probably never be on Calgary's top pair.
Tanev is a top 4 defensemen.
