And 2024-25 is really a great chance for them to go for it while Oettinger ($4M), Johnson ($0.9M), and Stankoven are on great value deals before they require raises.
It would be tough to get Benn to waive his NMC which is the bigger issue but I think if they could move that cap hit out they would be interested.

Exactly. Dallas can clear $9.5 off their cap to sign someone else (Duchene, Stephenson, Tanev, etc.).
They could even trade him to us with the intention that we buy him out and they re-sign him on the cheap.
To Calgary:
Jamie Benn ($9.5M)
Mavrick Bourque
2026 1st (unprotected)
2026 2nd
To Dallas:
Kuznetsov
Vladar
Dallas now has cap room ($27M) next year to sign:
Benn ($1.5M)
Duchene ($5M)
Pavelski ($3.5M)
Tanev ($4.5M)
Hanifin ($7.5M)
Valdar ($2.5M)
