I think its completely dependent on this years showing....
You have alot of signings/re-sigjnings on TEAM friendly monies, but with an aging team and declining results, I doubt those players come back for discounted salaries for declining results. In other words if they struggle this year (entirely possible), why would they come back?
(Maybe Malkin does come back for 7.5mi, but why would ZAR come back at 60% of his salary? Why does Kapanen who was on a cheap bridge deal only get 4.25 if he has another yr like last year? Why re-sign Friedman? Why would seattle want zucker, when they didn;t want him for free (expansion) before? Lafferty/Ruhwedel/etc... are AHL/NHL borderline now, why bring them back?)
And in almost every way, you have assembled the same team, so I have to believe you think 21-22 has been a great year, but if it was a successful year, the same logic as above applies: why do these guys sign so cheaply when they can get far more on the market?
