For Knies, Button had a good comparable for once - the Lundell deal. Different players and role but similar level of impact. He got 6 years at 5 million.
For a C target, Ryan Strome would be a nice add. Right shot C. This year and next left at 5 million. Local guy. Decent size. Could slot in between Domi and Nylander if that line stops clicking or you could put him at 3C and slide JT to the wing.
No idea what Anaheim would want but they also have Terry, Carlson, McTavish and Lundestrom up the middle long term and at Stromes age he won’t be part of their success.
