you also have to be very careful now! do you sign palat and Johnson long term deals ? because that will affect us being able to pay kucherov two years from now! I say you can do one deal for palat and johnson not both for 5 plus per season.
Depends on how much they get on their next deals. If Killorn goes to Vegas we could use his 4.5 to pay both and put them at 5.5 which isn't terrible if they play like they can. In 2 more years, Garrison, Coburn and Stralman contracts are all off the books. Callahan is in his last year, a buyout saves us 3mil one year and 4 the next. Carle's buyout has just one more year. There's money becoming available and I really only see Point and Drouin getting paid from our current group. As long as we don't go heavy in free agency and promote from within we should have all the money we need for Kucherov.
