Quoting: kous
I put them there but they will be moved out
I don't see Engvall or Kase getting any more than that.
Copp and Campbell both can get more but I think Campbell if he wants to stay with the Leafs will need to be in the $4-$4.5 range.
Both Engvall and Kase are RFA with arbitration rights, both made 1.25 this past year, so both will be in line for at least a 10% uplift just as a qualifying offer, but both based on performance will ask for 1.8mil or more.
You might think they dont deserve or dont want to pay it, but based on their production they'll get close to 2mil if not a tad more. And chances are the arbtrator gives engvall that for sure, or else they walk if you dont qaulify
I know your lineup says you have cap space to afford a more reasonable offer for Copp and Campbell, but thats a BIG IF you can move Mrazek AND Muzzin, both of which have NTC and are not likely to be in demand or might cost to move.
(And Kalgren is nt a good backup on a contending team = 3.31 GAA and 88% save pctg when the team was playing well)
