well Knies hasn't even played a full season - we don't even know if hes a 8 million dollar player let alone even a 6...
Liligren hasn't played as a 6 million dollar player - hes lucky to get 4 and term at this point (alot would have to improve to secure the bag)
Matthews is looking for 14/14.5 for 5 years, likely signs 13.5/14 for 4-5 years
Bertuzzi is currently making 5.5, why would he sign for less? hes about to play on a line with Matthews and Marner, he will be a 6 mil player if not more with the cap going up (someone will pay)
Woll hasn't even played as a starter and we are jumping to 5 mil? goalies are a crab shoot and rarely get long term deals unless they are a franchise player (see campbell or even freddy)
Nylander isn't signed because hes demanding north of 10
Tavares will likely still be on this team as a 2.5-3 mill player
Alot of these one year players leafs currently have are banking on putting up numbers this year to go and get over paid somewhere else when the cap rises.
your team needs to consider bridge deals and smaller/more realistic cap hits
