They had to overpay a couple to get them to stay, and now it's time to pay the piper. Oh, and they are all signed for at least another 2 seasons.

I see them having to ship out Eberle to somewhere like Nashville, Detroit, Florida, LA and having to throw in a couple of 2nds as the sweetener, and get like a conditional 4th in return.

Or, Nashville offer sheets Barzal. 5 years, $8.5 million per, which costs a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Or (and most likely), NHL GMs sit on their hands and wait for Lout to get things figured out. Because that's the gentlemanly thing to do.

I feel like this is kind of the unspoken rule during this COVID offseason. Kind of a "we're all in this together, lets get through this" deal.
