Yeah at some point you are going to just have to lose someone. I think the odd man out is going to be Gourde. You might even see Kucherov traded at some point.
The two contracts they have weighing them down is Tyler Johnson at $5m per and Killorn at $4.4m.
They are set for 2 good years at a cup run, after that the math just doesn't work to keep everyone. I think that's why Yzerman doesn't want to trade high picks. They are gonna need some young talent to replace potential departures.
