So if you go above that, you can go up to $7 Mil and pay a 1st and 3rd. Realistically he would get something in the neighborhood of 5 to 5.5.
Mang re-signed here for $5.8 and 3 years following his 35 goal season, but never returned to that level. Geekie is coming off a 33 goal season. It might be a big risk giving up a 1st and 3rd to get him, but if you can get him for $4.68AAV and a 2nd rounder, it would be worth it IMO.

There is a chance that our 1st is #1OA and we draft McKenna next year.
Signing Geekie - or anyone - to a contract that requires our 1st, risks losing out on McKenna. Do you want Geekie that badly?
If you want to offer up to $4.68M sure, go for it. But the 1st is absolutely off the table.
