Our defense corps as UFAs this year

[Rorschach]

Lets pretend our entire defense corps, the top six, went UFA this year and no one signed any hometown or contender discount. How much would the corps new salary hit add up to for next season? Ignore scale of economy where a flood of supply lowers the price.

Doughty
Muzzin
Voynov
Regher
Martinez
Greene

They will make total about 18.8m next year in reality.

A lot of teams would over pay for our defense core, look at what Mitchell got at 37 years old or Orpik's contract.

Doughty: 10.5
Muzzin: 5.25
Voynov: 5.5
Regehr: 3.5
Martinez: 4.75
Greene: 3.5

I'd have to imagine DL would let most of our defense core go without hometown discounts.

Doughty would be one of the highest paid players in the league if he went to UFA. Teams would literally offer near league max for all seven years to lock up Doughty from age 25-31.

I'm feeling the amount would be somewhere between 30 to 35m.

Doughty would get league max easy.

$13.8m?

Yeah, I have them at right around 33M. What a bargain, eh?

That's right, my Canadian-sounding friend.

Now lets add Mitchell and it's now like like 37 to 40m...half the cap room for an entire NHL team...

Our defense is good. It's not the best we ever had but it's good, and improving.
