Nice of all these players to take these contracts

It would certainly be ideal to completely lowball all the UFAs and get them to accept

With the seasons they've had thus far, anyone paying Bert or O'Reilly much more than this is overpaying and you're a little clueless if you believe otherwise. The most either of them should get is 5.5M. But sure there's a chance a team like Anaheim may overpay. Mayfield is likely to get more and Acciari definitely deserves a bit more as well, however the whole point of this post is that we're gonna have a good amount of cap space to add a good player or two to an already decent roster.

You should get something for Samsonov. The only difference is Bertuzzi and Mayfield in- Bunting and Schenn out. Unless this team last season had success there most likely is a new GM and coach so changes in the core would definitely be happening.
