Will have to shed salary from the rest of the roster.
I honestly think they have two years and then Draisaitl will move on, quickly followed by McDavid. Other teams will make cap space for them in cities more desirable for them… Toronto/NY/LA/Vegas.

All good points. I think they’ll let German Gretzky go and back up the Brinks truck for McDinglenuts. He’ll sign because he doesn’t care about winning.
