We can afford all of the above. Desharnais' salary will afford Galchenyuk's raise. Radulov isn't going to make significantly more than he is now, just getting term. Patches will get what, 2.5 to 3 million more per season? We have lots of cap available in the coming seasons.
Yes but we have to replace them as they drop off or increase salary.
Markov, Rads, Patches, Price, Chucky will be resigned and get raises or stay the same.
Losing DD doesn't offset anything. Even if you take off Plex after next year, you'll still have to bring in new players to take up vacant roster spots and pay them not to mention the RFA's like Danault and Lehkonen in the not to distant future.
Not saying it's not possible, just not possible for Druin, a winger who's not high on the "character" radar or two way forward. If it was for a 2nd line centre etc than I can see that move. Druin just doesn't check any of the boxes, especially not at that price.
