I think we can bid on UFAs but should wait to solidify them Monday after most of the RFAs are wrapped up.
If this is the overall sentiment, feel free. Others chime in first.

phew, I think that just about does it.
^ I think Boyle would want something around 3.0-3.5 million since the cap is climbing as well.
Hiller 5.5 for 5 years. I think that is a very fair deal IMO.
I need more opinions of Spezza? Paz doesn't think he should sign, IC thinks he would want more of everything.
Also are all my RFAs good?

I feel like this could get really messy with this approval system. I don't have much suggestions, maybe have the people who listed their resignings show how many approvals they have for each player.
I just double check, we'll be using the actual AAV of the what the players get signed for and this is just to confirm if they stay on that team?
Does a 4x4 for Grabovski sound fair?
Ottawa offers:
Hemsky 3 years 5 million a year
Michalek 3 years 5 million a year
David Savard 4 years 2.5 million a year
Lehner 4 years 3.5 million
Gryba 3 years 3.5 million
Nikolaj Ehlers signed to entry level contract
Edmonton will go 5 years 22.5m (4.500m AAV) on Michalek (UFA)
Gryba re-signed (I think) at 1.250m AAV
the Lehner and Savard deals look good though as RFAs
RFA:
Elliott 2 years @ 875,000
Sustr 2 years @ 875,000
Panik 2 years @ 1,750,000
Auile Qualified
Barberio Qualified
UFA:
Lindback 3 years @ 2,250,000
Pyatt 3 years @ 1,500,000
Be gentile
Ok will take the Gryba deal (was going off the nikitin one). Michalek is my player though so can you still make an offer?
He's a UFA, so anyone can make a bid.
Then while we settle on our best offers, the other GMs can weigh in on which deal they think the player would take, by taking into account players do not often like to change teams, term and salary, if the team is rebuilding or a contender, etc. Can use the player's real quotes as well, like if he says he'd not stay in Canada, prefers to stay away from the pressure of a big market team, etc.
Or at least that is how I thought we were doing this.
Ah ok I thought that we had a window of today and then tomorrow other people could make offers.
But in that case I would offer Grabovski 4 years at 4.5 million. Keeping in mind that he has played for Toronto and Montreal so is familiar with Canada and would play second line centre until Zbad is ready to move up to second line centre.
Crap, forgot the AHL RFAs. I'd also like to qualify Kunyk, Korobov and Paradis.
I'd say start the UFA flood gates on Monday. Let the draft festivities and the weekend settle over today and tomorrow.
And how do we do that, just post hey I'd like Niskanen at 10 mil for 8 years and if I get 5 oks then he's mine?
