This a lot of bad and badder.

Sam Gagner is washed.

Flames don't want Husso.

They have Vladar and Wolf.

Holl will be bought out if/when he can't be traded.

Johansson will be on the team.

Perron is rapidly declining.

I wouldn't bring him back.

You can't have a guy in the lineup just because he's a leader in the locker room.

You're severely underpaying Roy.

He'll be in the 6 mil AAV range.

Soderblom hasn't earned a spot on the Red Wings.

You're underpaying Seider and Raymond if you're giving them 8 year contracts.

Buying UFA years with an increasing Cap brings up the AAV.

Flames decline

Pretty much all correct, except I don't think AJ is a lock to be on the team.

Emphatically!

What will Steve do?

Pay Holl 3.4 mil to be a 7D again?

Sign another UFA?

Go with Petry as 7D?

I think he goes after Roy and keeps Maatta. Holl will again be a 7D if he's not bought out and Petry will also be a regular scratch.

Edvinsson barely looks NHL ready I doubt AJ is there.

Johansson is 23 years old.

24 in January.

He can't really do anything more in Grand Rapids.

May as well trade him if you're not going to give him an opportunity.

Wouldn't want to ruin a kid's career.

Would Yzerman not qualify him?

Exactly - he's 24 and hasn't sniffed the NHL yet. I fully expect him to be qualified but I doubt he's a regular in Detroit, unfortunately. If he is he won't be much of a difference maker.
