I'd want to get Panarin/Stone at the TDL in order to be able to offer the 8th year on a deal. Bringing down the AAV would be crucial.
Otherwise you're looking at 9.5(or more) for Panarin and around 8.75m for Stone on 7 year deals. And that's with the state tax advantage.
Good point on the extra year. Still just don't like giving up 1st round pick at all, we can't afford to give up any more until we have a more developed system. We do have a lot of assets that probably would be more valuable to the Sens than us, assets that in truth would actually be better sent out of the organization to clear up some slots that are blocking some players and recognizing some of these guys won't be around in the future. Plus if we move Eakin and maybe Clarkson, we'll basically clear enough to pay Stone.
My package for Stone would be mostly clearing out space and include any (or all) of the following:
Eakin
Prospect, maybe two, of their choice (not CG/EB/NH)
4th round pick that becomes 2nd round if we reach conference finals, 1st round if we win Cup
One of the extra 2nd round picks in 2020 if we sign Stone LT (don't think he's a superstar worthy of a 1st here)
Lagace (affordable backup for next year, gets his shot to start after Anderson's done)
Any of our extra forwards if they are interested (including Hyka)
Clarkson (if they don't sign anyone expensive, they will be under the floor)
Package for Panarin is much more difficult because if CBJ sells off him and Bob they have to be looking for prospects because that's basically saying we don't plan on competing right away.
