Yeah I don't see us packaging an asset to move Callahan after we spent so much getting McD and Miller here. It may have been something to consider, but we just lost out on two of our best prospects plus at minimum one first round pick (if not two). That's 4 good assets that we no longer have. While our cupboards aren't bare by any stretch, we lost some of our flexibility in using them as trade bait.If you don't waste 2.5 on Dotchin you'd have plenty of money to sign Miller. Why are you giving Point 6.5 too? Do you think this season and next will be better than the two Kucherov had prior to his bridge deal? Or close to what Stamkos did before his first extension? I like Point but he doesn't have the results to ask for 6.5 yet. Why is Erne getting 1.1? He hasn't done nothing to get a raise on what he makes now, he will sign a 1 year 1 way deal for 800-850k like Koekkoek did last year. We have space for Miller next year, there's no reason we can't resign him.
I also don't see how we are trading Callahan even if we do retain 50%. Unless we are adding to him we aren't getting rid of him that easily unless he puts up 40 points next year.
