Meier isn't signing that cheap. He'll be over $5M.
Labanc isn't signing that cheap. He'll be closer to $4M.
Thornton definitely isn't signing that cheap. He'll be closer to $2M.
& Pavelski will get the Marleau treatment. Aged out by better, younger players and he'll leave to free agency and whatever team gives him the term he wants. 2 years isn't it.

There's a very very slim chance Pavelski can stay. Karlsson virtually signed Pavelski's exit papers with his deal.

So Colorado takes your cap dump and gives you a 3rd round pick for a player they don't need? Nope.

Seems lik I sold him cheap...

You've gotta give Wilson that one. Flyers were in need of a RD though. They make a far better trade partner
