Rantanen + Girard = $14.25m
Tkachuk + Chychrun = $12.8m
Savings of less than $1.5m would not be the point of a Rantanen trade. Nevermind that Chychrun is a UFA in 1 year and we'd lose him then anyhow.
If you *have* to move him, it's for 2/3 guys on ELCs ready to contribute. No big salaries coming back.
The entire point of moving Mikko would be so we could afford Landeskog's return, Toews' raise, extension to Mittelstadt, keeping Drouin/Walker/Trenin/whoever, etc.
