I hope Reinhart gets about 7. I'd let him hold out if he wants 8.5. Mittelstadt has done absolutely nothing to warrant that raise, he will be around 1 million. Olofsson should get 5, just take the 2.5 from mittelstadt. Rodrigues and Thompson also have not earned raises. The numbers are staggering, the only forwards on our team that score are eichel, olofsson, reinhart, and skinner. I wouldn't pay anybody else more than necessary, they are playing for nhl jobs at this point.
