Vats for Gal

And then next year, you have Bieksa's $4M, Vermette's $1.75M and Bolls $900K coming off the books.

Bieksa's money goes to Manson.
Vermette plus Fowler's salary goes to Cam's extension.
Montour, Ritchie and Kase get a slight bump.

I'd resign Cogs, but don't think he could get a raise. I love the guy, but would give term, NTC in exchange for lower salary. Maybe 4-5 years at $2.5M?

We also have a credit on the Depres buy out. We would be able to resign everyone and make 2 decent runs at the cup with this line up.

You could even give Chucky $4.5 mil and we would be alright. Though this lineup needs a cup run to stay intact.

I was expecting to have to explain why montreal doesn't need a RD for galchenyuk however the draft pick upgrade and shaw makes this more reasonable.
