I think Kucherov gets a lot more than 9.5 million

with the cap going up a minimum of 80 mill next year, 9.5 is the kind of discount Stamkos cap hit would be, if he resigned A contract this year and wasn’t posting top 10 numbers Kuch gets at least 11 mill.

Yup. Took a discount to bet on himself when he becomes a true FA, and he should hit the jackpot. Could end up getting something similar to Patty Kane money.

im thinking more like connor mcdavid money

there is probably a zero % chance Stralman would sign for that as a UFA. Might be low on Kucherov too. And high on Namestnikov.

I agree with almost all the numbers. Kucherov stated through his agent that he isn't going to break the bank on his next contract so between 8.5-9.5 is a good quote.

Stralman might be a little low and too long on term.

No to resigning Sustr and paquette.

Cirelli, Stephens and Joseph should be NHL ready by 2019.

I expect Cal Foote to spend some time in the AHL. He needs to work on his defensive positioning and skating!

Not really. Florida has no state tax, and that's how they got Stammer at 8.5.
