Next year

all those numbers seem off.

The FO would sign Jake to a 1 year, maybe 2 if we are lucky, low dollar offer to give him a chance to prove himself in a full season.

Svech isnt taking a 5 x 7 deal, again unless we are really lucky. He is going to get 6.5-6.75 x 2.

Im not sure we get Dougie for a 8 x 8.

Probably dont keep Dzingel. Geekie is probably a 1-1.25 million guy.

Winnipeg needs defenseman that are actually good defensively, so they should stay far away from Gardiner.

He's been one of Carolina's premier D men this season, but if you want someone good defensively... Brady Skjei has just seamlessly filled in for Jaccob Slavin next to Dougie Hamilton, have him!

How do u get all these calculations?

Bean- I use Fleury as a very recent example of how they handle 3rd pair defenders who are unproven
Geekie- unless he gets 12-15 goals this season, he will be paid like a 4C.
Svech- looking a Point, Thachuk, etc as bridge examples to compare. Svech probably gets 2 years because adding another year would put him and Aho needing contracts at the same time
Dougie- Dougie probably gets Carlson money, if not slightly higher for a 8 year deal.
Dzingel- plays 3rd line now and probably 4th line when every is back. The Canes will have to go cheaper with the bottom 2 lines if they are to afford everyone.
