I'd prefer Gio and that cap hit go, but wonder if that might/could be their thinking.

If we give up Tkachuk and Dube, and then go 4 and 4, that means we can only protect:
Eichel
Gaudreau
Lindholm and
Monahan
leaving Mangiapane and Backlund exposed.
So then Eichel costs us Tkachuk, Dube and Mangiapane, leaving us with one actual line. Or as I like to call it, we'd be Oiler-deep.
