Do you really think Kase's rights have value?
Maybe a 7th, but a 4th and 7th rounder?

And why would Malkin sign such a low UFA offer?

And why would all 3 RFAs accept those offers? Engvall is 27 yrs old and will get paid after the year hes had.

Kase has value bc he is 26. Its a middle 4th and late 7th round pick. Jets are in need of RW help and not paying much for him trade value and contract.
Malkin so low bc he is older and he is very injury prone
they accept the offers bc they are bridge deals. Sandin will take pay cut bc he is now injury prone and Lili proved he wasn't playoff ready and wasn't worth much more
Engvall will accept the offer bc I do not think his value is much more than 2 million.

The years are whats wrong with the RFA deals. They'll be 2 year deals. The AAV's are reasonable. Liljegren will probably get 2m.

Maybe, but they wont get paid in 2 yrs time. Bridge deals work when theres a bad contract expiring, but Nylander/Matthews/Robertson will get paid, Bunting and the starting goalie are next year. Engvall is 27 and will probably get 2.25 or more, both the dmen were unhappy with being constantly benched/demoted to Marlies, and the last 2 leaf players who took team friendly/bridge deals were promptly dealt.

Theres lots of league minimum/ELC that will need replacing and you'd like to think you'd be upgrading at some of those spots. Mrazek as a buyout will last 4 yrs and the cap will probably only increase about 1 mil a year.

Theres really no reason why these RFAs would take bridge deals.

Isles say no. It’s not even close to fair value.
