I agree that the values above are off. Why pay Calvert, a 4th line player more than Bjorkstrand.
Anderson last year had like 17 goals and got $1,850,000.
I would expect Calvert to either be not tendered an offer or offered only $1.5M.
Bjorkstrand should get Anderson numbers, or only slightly higher, maybe $2M.
Cole is worth more, but would probably sign longer term deal to stay, he seems to fit in, and is gelling well with the team. He should probably be around $3M to $3.2M.
Murray and Letestu are probably spot on in value.
Nutivaara is really good. I was at the game last night and he is very solid positionally, does not get out of position when defending 1 on one coming in with speed, skates well, passes well, and has good vision. I would expect his offer to be around $2.5M bridge deal.
Jenner brings intangibles, but is probably overvalued based on his drop-off in numbers the last 2 years, but would probably get the $3.2M - $3.5M noted above, unless moved in a deal to get another top line Center as you indicate above.
Johnson will not be here next year.
With Cole and the Kids stepping up, he becomes expendable.
