If they sign Rasmus, the cap hit goes from $2.5 mil to $8 Mil or more. Stone is older, AP is older, Karlsson is older, Hertl is older, McNabb is older. They have no picks or prospects and add Marner at $14 mil, they will hit a wall at some point. The value would be 2026 1st being a late 1st and 2027 being a lottery 1st.

If Hague is almost as good as Rasmus he will probably cost us 7-8 million a year. That seems like a lot of money.
Vegas also will not have a much greater chance of being a lottery team in 2027. A hypothetical team with Marner, Eichel, Stone, Hertl, Karlsson, Barbashev and Theordore, Hanifin and AP on the backend is not a lottery team.
