It would leave them with about 22.2 million to sign 11 players or so, with Middlestadt being the most expensive. It would give them one season to make a run with Rantanen signed and would create enough room with Girard off the books for them to likely sign Rantanen again.
You would have to be looking at Ritchie, a 1st and maybe another prospect in addition to the two salaried players you are picking up. Flames might have to throw in a 3rd rounder or two to balance it out but the Avs (especially if they don’t win this year) look like a logical trading partner.

NJD would happily target Georgiev and Girard if they're being put on the market to clear space.
