How much of that will be going to Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, and Boeser by that time?
Hughes can’t play defense , so that’s a fair negotiating point for a competent manager.
EP40 having a rough year , maybe shaved a million or 2 off what he would have gotten if negotiated last year.
Both the above are cost controlled as RFAs
BB6 is different, he’s getting a raise.
TD35 if he wants big dollars .... seeeeee ya! He’s pretty .... average. Nothing worth paying a premium for. No better than a goalie you can get for 3-4 M
Horvat is a funny one to me. By then his contract is ending and he may not wanna play on a perennial loser. He could test free agency and move on.
