RW: Ryan Callahan ($4,275,000) --> He shouldn't get much more than what he has now in years or dollars.
C: Brian Boyle ($1,700,000)--> Remember when we let Prust walk for what 2.4 mil? Do we go and sign him for close to the same? He is going to provide a great 4th line option and leadership and can fill in on the 3rd. I think he's worth a little over 2 mil for 2-3 years.
LW: Taylor Pyatt ($1,550,000)--> Goodbye!
LW: Benoit Pouliot ($1,300,000)-->Goodbye!
C: Domenic Moore ($1,000,000)--> I feel like we'll keep him.
D: Dan Girardi ($3,325,000)--> I don't want to re-sign him but who do we have at RD? He's going to cost too much and not live up to his contract though.
D: Anton Stralman ($1,700,000)--> Again who do we have at RD? It wouldn't be smart to guarantee Mcilrath a top 4 spot although he may earn one. Stralman can be cheap and do ok.
G: Henrik Lundqvist ($6,875,000)--> 8 and 8 is too much for a goalie but not for a legend.
LW: Darrol Powe ($1,066,667)-->Goodbye!
RW: Arron Asham ($1,000,000)-->Goodbye!
C: Micheal Haley ($600,000) He isn't making the NHL so far so they'll probably get rid of him.
D: Stu Bickel ($750,000)-->Same thing
D: Aaron Johnson ($600,000)-->He's really helped McI develop and has been the AHL's top D man. Can't gut the minors every year so he may stay
D: Danny Syvret ($587,500)-->They grabbed him for the AHL prob for a year to fill in.
RFA's
C: Derick Brassard ($3,200,000)--> If we do for some reason give him 4 mil than it shouldn't be more than 2 years. We might just let him go/trade him no matter what. I'm sure cutting Richards will affect this too. If Richards goes I can't imagine him being let go too for nothing
LW: Mats Zuccarello ($1,150,000)-->I'm sure he'll ask for 4 mil and we'll let him go and give that money to Brassard which would be dumb b/ MZA has a better chance of deserving that kind of contract. 3 mil for 2-3 years is ok with me. He may actually play well enough over the next few years to legitamately deserve a 4 mil 4 year contract but that's a big "may" for such a small guy.
C: Chris Kreider ($800,000)-->Probably gets around what Stepan just got but they've been hyping him up so much that I wouldn't be shocked if they tried to get him for more years. I think they should do a 1 or 2 year bridge tho.
D: Micahael Del Zotto ($2,550,000)--> He's making what he should be making but with UFA years coming it'll cost a little more. There's no way I would give him more than 3 years for 3.5 mil. With Staal wanting a new one soon he may just get the boot. I don't see anything in him that makes me think he'll develop much more so I don't think he's worth keeping in what is already an overcrowded LD spot. The coach doesn't seem to like him and his fragile mental makeup.
D: Justin Falk ($975,000)-->He's done well and may be kept around like Eminger was
D: John Moore ($840,000)-->He shouldn't get much more than what he has now for 2 years
LW: Danny Kristo ($875,000)-->Same as Moore
LW: Kyle Jean ($705,000)-->Started hot and has been cold for awhile so they'll probably let him go
LW: Ryan Bourque ($656,667)-->I think they like him in the AHL and will keep him
LW: Brandon Mashinter ($605,000)-->Same as Bourque
LW: Jason Wilson ($583,333)-->Oh he's gone. They told him his bags would be waiting for him outside. He walked outside, found no bags and the door was locked behind him leaving him stranded in dead career land. Far off in the distance is a 6'7 sobbing pile of dog crap.
G: Jason Missiaen ($675,000)-->He's 6'7 so the team was just pranking him. They throw a piece of paper reading "contract" on the ground next to him with what appears to be a skid mark right where the 'Signature' line is.
G: Scott Stajcer ($620,000)-->If he could walk out the door he would but with two displaced hips, a fracture femur and a dislocated pelvis they just couldn't get him out of the infirmary so they give him an anasthetic and roll him out into the cold. The skid mark contract is placed directly between him and Missiaen. Who will win?
