Drain the swamp of shitty contracts

Description
Get rid of Kenny's long term loyalty contracts and build towards the future. Realistically nobody will take Ericsson's or Abdelkader's, Nielsen's or Kronwall's contract, the rest are fair game. This isn't likely to happen since Kenny is GM for the near future, but this would be my ideal offseason.

Alzner is probably going to get double what you have. He's the best available UFA dmen after Shattenkirk and he wants to stay in the Northeast

Agree Alzner will get bare minimum 5x5 maybe slightly more.

Try at least 5 years $25 million for Karl Alzner he will be the 2nd highest paid D man after Kevin Shattenkirk.

I've seen a lot of low guesses on Alzner contract, this is by far the worst. Well done!

Maybe I did underestimate Alzner's contract. My logic was that he's only making 2.8 now, and isn't getting any better. I forgot to take the market into account. I'll change it to $6milx3years. It isn't the term most of you expect, but the extra million AAV could do it.

Just to explain, my reasoning behind getting Alzner is because we need to have something on the ice at defense. DeKeyser's contract is too long for my tastes, and Alzner could be a better alternative with less term. With a 3 year deal is contract will end a year after Kronwall's, allowing us to transition into our new young d-core.

Thanks for the feedback.
