Does Rasmus Andersson give you 70-80% of what Werenski can? Leafs actually need a RH defenceman and all it will cost you is money.

He didn't have such a hot playoff. Estimates I've seen before that are for $8 mil/yr x many years.
Vegas supposedly had an 'understanding' to re-sign him but he may have played himself out of that.
We've already overspent to get Raddysh
For a 5/6 right handed dman, I think there is better value to be had. Maybe that is what Vegas is thinking ..

Considering what Bowen Byram is angling for its hard to view 8.5M as an "overpay" on the UFA market.
