How does Vancouver fit another 5 million dollar contract without hampering their ability to resign Hughes/EP/Demko down the line?
A bunch of trash contracts are coming off the books in about 1-2 years, which is when Petey and Hughes will have their big contracts. I have my inherent doubts with Benning and his abilities but from what he's said recently, he's 100% aware of the cap situation and will be clearing cap this year. It will also be either Markstrom or Demko for the future - they'll fit.
Toffoli solidifies our top 2 RW spots, gives us a dangerous option on either powerplay unit and he has shown proven chemistry with Pettersson (who wouldn't?). I would be very comfortable going in with Boeser and Toffoli on our top wings for our window - I would not doubt that Toffoli will score 30 in a full year. If we can get him for 5 million that'd be amazing. Although, I'd expect it's going to be like 5.5 for 3-4 years.
