Yeah i can see Devs getting top pick and then offering Holtby a ton of money(with their top players on ELCs)...since i can also see Taylor Hall leaving unless they tell him to wait it out....their plan to sign Holtby. But if they do land Lafrienere(LW) they may just let Hall walk. With his injury history hes not gonna take a short-term deal.
Already with Hughes and Hischier...if they get one of Lafrienere/Byfield...would be crazy. Shero could go to his 3C route with Byfield. 6'4 center whos ridiculously skilled.
And i could see Holtby being enticed to sign there. Being the one to get them back on top since Brodeur.
Idk if Caps can keep him. Would Backstrom really take a hometown discount when hes only made 6.7 a year? Some team would def give him an extra 3 a year even at that age. Still one of the best passers in the game.
with Samsonov looking good, I think they’ll let Holtby walk...
