I agree with @stl76 that they won't have too much difficulty getting compliant. They'll lose a bit of depth, but not any core pieces. But Adding Rants at $12M certainly changed their cap structure and will force them to correctly identify who is expendable depth.
I imbued upon the Saad situation a feeling of animosity, but you’re probably right, in that he left in an amicable manner.
I understand the position and not wanting to doom spiral over the offer sheets, but to lose two high drafted players for seemingly no reason and to watch them breakout is curious. Regardless of how many points Broberg has scored, he has enhanced the offensive in ways that won't show up on the scoresheet. He has been Bouw like in that, his skating is flawless and can exit the d-zone whenever he wants, but he's far superior in offensive capabilities. He hasn't hit the defensive stalwart pedigree that Bouw did in the cup run, but he's pretty good in my book. Holloway is just a massive blunder. There's no reason not to match that offer sheet.
