Simply letting Zadorov ($3.75M) and Pitlick ($1.75M) walk, they can afford Johnny’s raise. If they gave him every dime Zadorov and Pitlick earned this year, they’d be paying him $12.25M.
Trading Tkachuk and trading/buying out Monahan pays for Bread and Kylington.
Ritchie, Stone, Richardson, Lewis and the Brouwer buyout give an extra $4.75M.
They have the money.
Their new arena has been green lit.
It would be some kind of bad faith to lose Johnny Gaudreau.
