This looks pretty good but I have a couple of thoughts
1. I would expect Sandin and Liljegren to get matching contracts, and if one is going to get more I'd expect it be lily
2. That's probably the most I'd sign Bunting for, but if it is that high I'd want more term, might as well make it look good a few years from now when the cap rises
3. I'd want to re-sign Brodie if possible, he's crucial to the team's defence
4. Amriov on LTIR to make the money work is odd
5. Nylander is going to want significantly more than that, given his team lead in points this season. Unless he ****s the bed next season it's going to be close or more than 10m
6. That money can be found by trying to negotiate less for ROR, hopefully he sees his role as a Giordano/Spezza type player, cheap contract in return for being loved and probably guaranteed an organizational role after. And Kampf shouldn't be signed for more than 1.5 again

Matthews might cost more than that. That's only a $2 mil raise. He's heading into UFA with all the leverage and he's signing for 8 years.

Matthews and Nylander both get more.
AM34 -- I expect @ $14.5mil + depending on salary cap forecasts
WN88 -- I agree with @jsteed02 above, close to $10mil

Without knowing what AM34's list of priorities are...it's tough to predict what number he'll re-sign at.

If he wants top dollar...he can certainly demand it and I think the leafs would pay it
If he wants to go to a big US city...he walks
If he wants to win (and please save your 'leafs can't get out of the 1st round comments for another thread)...hopefully he sees how much more productive he is with a guy like Marner on his wing and how much more competitive the team can be if he takes a little less to stay.

I don't know why...but my hunch says he signs for around $13m for 3 years. Makes him a free agent again at 28 while he's still very much in his prime and can sign a rich, 8yr deal that takes him to 36 (presumably when the cap is even higher and he can demand even more)...and re-evaluate if Toronto is where he wants to commit to or not.

I think Nylander sneaks up to around $10m, too
