If Hanks Retired NYR would be in the hook for a 3 million dollar Cap Recapture penalty for 20/21.
Tony DeAngelo is likely in for a bigger payday & he has arbitration rights this off season so he could get a big bump up to 4.5 - 5 Million for 1 year. If he does 2 years until he s a UFA, you are looking at 4.25 (ish) per.
Strome also a RFA with arbitration rights, i see this as Kevin Hayes like scenario, he gets 1 year deal, 5 million (give or take) if he gets that 65 point season & he's moved next year at the deadline. Gives the younger C's CHytil & Howden another year to develop & the brass another year to assess if they are 2C & 3C's respectively for the long run.
Geogiev gets 2 years but maybe at 2 million
Lemieux , 2 or 3 at about that 1.5 -1.75.
Dont see an add like Hoffman (not that i don't like him!) & hes looking for longer term, 5 years minimum & at that CK number, 6.5 for dollars.
May need to retain more on Smith & hes got a M-NTC, so OTT may not work...
Look for Morgan Barron, Tyler Wall & NIls Lundkqvist to sign ELC's.
IF MIller payed another year at Wisconsin, his JR year, i'd be fine with that as well.
