I keep seeing certain things, and I'm going to reiterate something here cause I haven't in a while. AA is going to sign for no less than $2.75M. No ifs, ands, or buts. Tats and Nike got those contracts. AA will. Also, XO will get Marchy's contract at least ($1.45M if I remember correctly). That's not a big difference though. Tats will most likely get Nike's contract of $4.75M. Once again, not a big difference here. Lastly, have you seen anywhere that has suggest a cap of $77M? Seriously, I'd like to see it if so. Everything I see talk about staying flat or going up marginally.

Andreas Athanasiou has 43 points in 101 games, Seriously no way can i see Athanasiou getting any where close to $2.75M He hasn't proven a thing yet the deal i gave him was the same deal that Holland gave to Abdelkader 3 years $5.4M that's more then fair for AA. And i agree with you that Tatar probably gets the exact same deal that Nyquist signed that's pretty much a gimme here. Ouellet for $1.5M is pretty fair. Bettman said that cap could go up to $75.5M to $76M with the 5% escalator cap this coming season some had suggested possibly $77M as well we shall see.
