I suggest you delete this before the wave comes

You overpaid Chucky

Gave RIELLY away for FREE

and are expecting an AHL goalie to be the backup

facepalm

Mikheyev, Sandin, Campbell wont cost a lot to extend

You can’t just give Reilly away for free. He’s too big of an asset. At worst u can get a 2nd round pick and prospect for him.

At best you get one of those rentals u are talking about in your description.

We easily can get more that that for rielly

Savard was traded for a 1st and 3rd. Dubas gonna start a bidding war like he did last year

Ya, ya, ya, I agree. I was just saying that in response to him. Not in general.

The resigning piece is not the biggest focus. They also get back the 1.2 on Kessel's retention so that will help with some of the signings. Sandin will sign a bridge deal similar to what Dermott has been doing because he's going to play very similar minutes to what Dermott has been doing. Anything over 1.5 per for 2 years would be odd. Mikheyev I imagine is not going to get resigned or if he does it will be pretty similar, maybe a small raise, especially with his lack of offensive production. If Campbell plays a full season and plays well again, he may command into the 4-6 million range, but he doesn't exactly have a track record. Another good year should probably net him a 2 year 3-4 per prove it contract. That's 8 million total, not outrageous at all if you want to keep Mikheyev. You'll only need to add 4 million to do that over and above their expiring contracts, with the loss of the retention it's only 2.8. Not hard to find (especially if Rielly is not resigned).

Giving away one of your best players to the Kraken for cap space is foolish.

If they can swing a deal for Giroux or Forsberg or whoever, then great. The point is to get out from under him. Nate Schmidt was worth a 3rd round pick (signed a lot longer), but I doubt anyone acquiring an expiring number 3/4 dman is going to be giving up a roster player.

See my previous reply on Rielly. I actually underpaid Galchenyuk according to EvolvingWild’s model who has him signing a $2.8 million AAV deal for 3 years. If Campbell has another regular season like this past year he’s going to command anywhere from $3-$5mil.
