Friedman said, "Don't underestimate how happy they are with Duechene. He's another guy they're going to want to try and take care of."

I personally want them to pull it off, but I don't see it with the money. It's a shame they can't push it off to 2026 when they have a boatload of cap space.

I don't agree that Robertson is gone ... I think it's going to be Marchment, but I don't know if that opens enough money to keep Duchene.

Still a chance the Cap goes higher than what was projected. They were talking about that being a possibility in the aftermath of the 3-year projection

True, but you're probably taking a couple million max. It wouldn't be enough to make Dallas' cap situation go away.

I'm not complaining for what it's worth. I think they made the best move possible, and it's looking like a single season of cap tightness .... for a life time of pant tightness for Rantanen.

yeah...marchment/duchene/robertson/harley all coming due...tough
 
If I count right we are almost at 89mil for next season. Considering that the cap limit 95.5mil we have only about 7 mil for signing Benn/Duchene/Granlund. Benn is probably 5 mil minimum so we are losing both Duchene and Granlund arent we ?

I don't think we should be overly attached to Benn. He's been massively overpaid for years, so hopefully he takes a discount if he wants to stay. Duchene should easily be the priority.

I hope Nill agrees.

I'm pretty sure Granlund was always supposed to be a rental.
