Brook>Juulsen

I'd shocked if Bergevin gave Kotkaniemi that kind of money, particularly if he's the kind of guy that would stiff Caufield and Romanov out of $25,000.

4M on 5 years - its a gamble - where if he reaches his potential... we have him cheap for the last two years.

I wrote 900 000 because it showed up in my autocorrect.

Couple of things:

Why sign 4th liner Reaves to 3M?
How 'bout give Caufield 925K and Romanov $916 667
Norlinder will get less
Kulak > Brook
Kulak > Juulsen
Brook > Juulsen
Lehkonen too lucrative
Poehling not enough (3x2833333)
Danault not enough
Gallagher too long
Cap will be higher, I'd give 85-87 mil
With the cap space that will be available maybe sign a medium name person

Cap will not increase that much.

Forget the ELC it was quicker to sign them to the same contract...

Danault will like the term and will take a team friendly contract. Gallagher will ask for term more than money. Cause he wants to play until he retires. Not until he slows down.

I'm tempering expectation, but a lot of the beat writers have thrown out numbers like 90mil for 2021-22. That's the year the new TV contract would kick in.

Either way, it'll definitely be more than 83.5, and likely significantly more. Cap is 81.5 now, 83.5 is probably the bare minimum it will increase to next year, and your team is for two years out.

Good news then
