LOL oh, okay.

I wouldn't give Salo more than $2m to come back. I think he might have a year or two left in him but I doubt that will happen as we have Ehrhoff and Bieksa to think about re-signing. Yes, re-signing Bieksa.

Edler-Ehrhoff
Bieksa-Hamhuis
Ballard-Tanev/Rome

Bieksa might want a bit of a raise to Hamhuis money...around $4.5m and Ehrhoff with a 50-point season will want at least $5m.

With the projected cap at $62m next year, we actually have quite a bit of cap room with few players to sign. We'll have damn near $15m in cap room. Giving $10m to Ehrhoff and Bieksa leaves us $5m to sign five-six guys to fill our bottom 6 with Malhotra. One of those guys will be Jannik Hansen who will probably get $1m in arbitration and Tanner Glass will probably take $800-900k. Lapierre only makes $800k too. It's not ridiculous that we could have Juice and The Hoff both back.

I still don't see how Cody Hodgson is ever going to fit in up here unless he plays wing.
