Salary Cap: AFP's Final Contract Projection Figures

[BFLO]

I don't understand $2.5m aav for JBD.

He was a #7/#8 dman for Ottawa and played 13 games for the Sabres during a major hot streak for the whole team.

He's a bargain at that number compared to Samuelsson.



My guess is that being a former 1st round pick that is a RHD are two big factors in that number.

Many such cases

Ah. That explains it. I had forgotten he was a former 1st rounder.

Am I out to lunch saying I'd take any of them at those prices?

Probably Nelson

I think the challenge is that those prices do not reflect the Sabres tax that they would likely have to pay to land one of them.

I dont see a way Bennett signs for less that 7.5. He brings too much to the table and has another potential level to go up if given the PP time. 7.5 for a 50 point guy who may become a 65 point guys, with good two way game and proven playoff production? I think plenty of teams take that in a heartbeat.

Bennetts about to turn 29. Why do we think he's suddenly going to add 30% to his production?

Agreed except the offensive jump. He'll get 7.5+

He gets 17:30 a game, and if a team wants to move that up to 18:30-19 and give him more PP time, I could see higher production. If the plan is to sign him to a big deal, feed him proper PP1 time and ES minutes, he absolutely could increase production another 25%
