Yams had 47 points in his last 79 games too. It’s not out of the question he could get 2 years around $3 mil. If they want him long term it’s going to be over $4mil maybe close to $5 mil
They could sign him to a 1 year deal could be around $2 mil but if he had a good year that will cost even more next summer
If yams deal is over $3 per even if klefbom retires they will have about $9 mil and 15 guys signed with not a whole lot of prospect forwards even close to nhl ready. Seems like that is where they will need bodies
Also if smith falls off a cliff this year they could need 2 goalies next summer
They need to be cup contenders now or they are in serious trouble
