Stamkos is 34 and in the first year of a 4 year $8M contract with a NMC. Marchessault is 33 and in the first year of a 5 year $5.5M contract (with either a NMC or modified NTC - not clear which). They each have 2 goals in 12 games. Oy. Brady Skjei is 30 and is in year 1 of a 7 year contract (similar NMC/NTC) making $7M per year. Josi and Forsberg are good players, but they both have full NMCs.
Saros is 29 and has a new 8 year $7.75M contract with a NMC kicking in next summer. So, maybe trading Saros is the rebuild plan?
