Still possible Seattle buyouts Veleno as he is under 26 the buyout rate is 1/3 instead of 2/3
Chicago taking the gamble that Burakovsky can find his game again on Bedard's wing. Instead of committing 4 or more years to an UFA they only commit to 2 years with Bruakovsky

They also need to get to the floor and could build his value and flip him with salary retained for a good pick in 1 to 1.5 years from now.
Seattle did well though, Marchment fits a role in the bottom 6 for less money and Seattle is on the verge of having some young players fill/improve the top 6.
