Speculation: How does Dallas make cap space in the offseason?

...Dallas in gonna be in a crunch with a lot of young teams that have a shyteton of Cap...he's a prime candidate for an offersheet that'll only cost a team their 2nd...getting a 1st for Bourque now and ridding yourselves of Dumba at the same time is a proposition that has merit for Dallas...

Don't worry, Bourque will be signed by Nill and company.

He'll be wearing a Stars jersey next season.
 
Id like the Habs to target Marchment + Bourque

I know the brass doesn’t want another project as a solution for the 2nd line centre and want more of a sure thing but Id like to gamble on Bourque

It's pretty easy, if Chicago starts sniping RFA's, not just from Dallas, one, they've now inflated every RFA contract for their own team.
If Bourque is getting a 4.3m AAV contract from Chicago, Kurashev is going to be too, as will Riechel and Nazar (at the minimum) as they are producing around the same as Bourque, they'll have a comparable as well.
Then you have the risk of an offer-sheet that walks Bedard right to UFA.
Sure they would match it, but they are not buying UFA years then and are losing control of the player at the time their window might be opening.
It's a risk most teams don't take, not because they can't snag the player, but because repercussions down the line aren't worth it.
Could they, sure, should they? sure probably, if only because it might force Dallas to move on from Marchment. Will they though? I doubt it.

Kurashev isn’t going to get resigned. Reichel sucks and Nazar is trending towards being worth that. “Retaliation” doesn’t come to mind as a reason I should not be adding a good going player ready to contribute.

He’d have to sign the offer sheet anyway. Maybe he won’t, but I’d still try. Not really about making Dallas worse. It’s about trying to get better.
