Not a chance Bremstrom makes that much or plays that high in the lineup. Dude has 25 career points, Texier as 30 career points and makes half as much and you have him on the 4th line.

yeah, i have him at 1.25M per year for 2. 3.5M is a huge overpayment.

You have him at more than I do too, tbh I have him being traded to make room for Marchenko or Johnson eventually. Unless he turns it on this season and shows he should be part of the future.

- Agreed on Bemstrom. Unless his production picks up, I doubt he gets more than $1M, maybe $1.1M on a two year deal. Boqvist looks about right, and Roslovic getting that kind of money depends on him showing last year wasn't an anomaly.

- I'd be surprised if Cole cost that much, and that seem way too high for Desmith. Either way, Tarasov will be getting NHL time next year, so DeSmith either won't be signed, or he'll be a cheap AHL depth signing;

- I think CBJ can do better than a 5th for Nyquist. He's not a cap dump - cap hit is maybe a little high, but he's still productive.

- I'm still bearish on Laine and Domi returning. Game 1 was fantastic, but it was also against the Coyotes. Still a long season to go, and I still feel either (a) they don't play well, so they get traded; or, (b) they play very well and price themselves out of CBJ;
