Babcock can add JVR to this line for a better firepower, but he doesn't. He'd probably use Panarin on the 3rd line to spread scoring.

You realize nobody is going to acquire Hossa because of the recapture penalty if he retires before the end of his deal which he will.

All the recapture penalties will hit Chicago, not the team they trade him to. (not sure if that is what you were inferring or not)
All the recapture eligible years have come and gone (years where his actually salary far outweighed his cap hit). Chicago is on the hook for 100% of the recapture penalties now because his salary has now dipped his below his cap hit for the first time this year.
Any cap floor team that acquires Hossa now will get massive real money savings now and moving forward. He makes $4 mil this year and the next 4 seasons after this he makes $1 mil per season.
Chicago will be the ones to nix any Hossa trade because of recapture. They want to keep and control that contract in-house (being able to LTIR him or not). They are screwed if he goes elsewhere and just hangs em up while healthy

Chicago has $11M in cap space and 15 under contract (9/5/1) for next year.
If they fill out 4/2/1 players with minimum contracts it will cost them around $6M that leaves them $5M+ cap raise in space for 1 player.

Or, he can come to Montreal and play with all his Russian buddies
Or St. Louis with Tarasenko

Actually, we do. Markov and Desharnais will be off the books this year while Emelin only has another season left. Even with raising to Price and Pacioretty those are entirely outset by the aforementioned contracts-- with money to spare, no less.
He turned down Toronto and we offered him a better contract
Would love to have Panarin.
This.
And if the Habs can get a deal done with Shipachyov from the KHL, who Panarin has played with, they end up with a nice top 6.
Panarin-Shipachyov-Radulov
Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Though I don't know how the Habs could get Panarin. The only option is an offer sheet, and I don't see Bergvin doing that to Chicago and his personal hero.
My only problem is I don't like the idea of subjecting Panarin to the idiotic control of Michel Therrien. Until they replace toenails, I kinda don't want to see anyone else brought in there.

So we are getting Marner then?
Fat chance of that, but parayko would look nice in the indian head.
Doesn't mean he couldn't be traded there. Doesn't really have a say in that.

2 1sts, 2nd, 3rd for compensation?
I honestly don't know if the hawks could even match that.

Tbh 7.3 million I'd only 1 1st 1 2nd and 1 3rd
Team could do that. And Chicago can continue its spree of cheap talent

Would only work if it was a 5 year deal (all offersheet compensations are based on 5 years, I.E. (5X7.3)/5=7.3 for compensation, (6X7.3)/5=8.76

If I was Edmonton I would probably be seeing if Seabrook was available due to cap constraints first. Not what he once was and not a great contract but a RD with 3 cup rings would do wonders for the Oilers.
