And realistically, they can't build a package for a star trade. Looks to me they will try to get a "star" FA using SnT (sending a mid sized salary) which would leave enough cap to resign THJ.
If it is going to be Lowry (improves upon JRich) and retaining THJ, I hope they send out enough salary to trade match and retain the full MLE.
What is the plan in Toronto? JRich plus Powell easily matches Lowry's stated $25mm requirement. JRich plus WCS and Burke gets you to $49mm over two years. Or, you can do JRich plus only WCS and push some salary into a non-guaranteed 3rd year. We don't really need Powell AND WCS if THJ/Lowry are starting and pushing Maxi to backup big role. Would be nice to have some or all of the MLE to add Batum.
