I assume we’d be retraining some salary if that’s the case, especially considering they only have $10.2 mill in cap space. If so, Kravtsov in return makes sense but if I were Treliving, I’d be eyeing down Kakko who’s an RFA and needs a new deal and clearly needs a change of scenery. However, for Kakko, we’d definitely need to retain around 50% of Monahan’s salary and add in a 2nd round pick and/or decent prospect for NYR to consider trading Kakko. I do honestly think a change of scenery and top 6 minutes would allow Kakko to shine and remind everyone why he was a 2nd overall pick.

I expect Strome wants that same money but for more than one year. They clearly might ask for retention though. Might be a bunch of conditions attached to any picks.
