Description

*salary cap based off the smallest increase since the lockout (1.6M 2015-16 to 2016-17*

Murray - Binnington-esque deal..? Add 1 million for an extra cup? Lol.
Jarry - I think signing Murr+Jarry to the same length deal would be wise, hopefully we'll have a better grip on who we want to run with at that point..
Riikola - similar to Clifton deal except 1 year less
Simon - not sure if he'd take it or not, but 6yr 2m per just like Jarnkrok (who was more productive) to ride shotgun on Sid&Jakes line for most likely the rest of Sids career. Would be a good contract for a guy who can play both wings and lines 1-3 in PIT.
McCann+Kahun - based off TML deals (Kap/Kerfoot/Johnsson) think these are pretty fair.

I think we should move Jugs to have some room for FA, what do others think?

Why wouldn’t you guys trade Desmith or Murray?

The Murray to Binner comps don't work, Murray has never won a cup by himself, MAF played a good amount of games both years, and even if he does win another one this year, this year it'll be "Jarry's cup" and Murray hasn't really been all that good since the cup wins, Binner was just coming off a cup win, Murray was coming off three relatively lackluster seasons, also using cups to measure a goalies worth is terrible, cups are a team effort, not a goalie effort (same with wins, GAA, and even sv%...)

Murray literally won 15 games in the 2016 cup run.

I'm a huge fan of Dom Simon, but you absolutely don't sign those guys to 6 year deals. Keep it at 3. Middle six players come and go.

It's worked out well with Jarnkrok
