Safe to say it wouldn't have been any of their big names. After Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, Marner, Rielly, nobody else makes more than $2.4mil/yr.
None of these guys are really paid enough to make enough of a difference:
Kampf, 29yr old @ $2.4mil for 3 more seasons?
Jarnkrok, 32yr old @ $2.1mil for 2 more seasons?
Reaves, 37yr old @ $1.35mil for 2 more seasons?
McCabe, 30yr old @ $2.0mil for 1 more season?
I'm guessing the retain on Markstrom was likely 50% instead of 31.25% to make it work instead.
Markstrom (50% retained)
for
2024 1st (#23), Reaves?
Don't think I have any interest in that, would have had to have included another sweetener (Liljegren or a prospect or additional pick?)

That's WAY worse than the NJD deal.
Replace Reaves with Liljegren, and I still like the NJD deal (likely a better pick, less retention, and don't have the uncertainty of Liljegren's new contract)
I don't see how TOR makes a better offer than NJD did. And until someone actually presents one, this is just TOR fans doing TOR fan things.
