There’s no way they can fit a $3.2M player for two years? How on earth are they going to ice a team? Keep in mind the same stuff has been said about the Leafs and the core four for years.
Teams find ways to make this stuff work every single year. I don’t think it’s out by if the question.

They aren't gaining anything. The core of Hyman, RNH, Nurse, Ekholm is falling off hard and they aren't going anywhere. Bouchard plays the game like he will completely mail it in after he gets his big contract, already most nights he doesn't seem to give a rip. They have to backfill the rest of the spots with league minimum players and have no draft capital or prospect pipeline to improve that portion of the lineup. Could probably make it work but at the expense of actually improving your team.
