Upcoming salary estimates

[pdel21]

I have a whack of RFAs and UFAs at the end of this season in a full keeper league. What are your thoughts on the salary projections for:

RFAs
Gaudreau (CGY)
Johansson (WSH)
Schwartz (STL) (I see the few projections for Schwartz above and agree with the 6 yrs $30M, I hope it is less)
Monahan (CGY)
Trocheck (FLA)
Rieder (ARI)
Bennett (PIT)
Miller (BOS)
Stone (ARI)
Barrie (COL)
Pickard (COL)

UFAs
McGinn (ANA)
Nielsen (NYI)
Goligoski (DAL)

I get the feeling there is going to be some massive cutting coming up, particularly since Anisimov went up to 4.55M cap hit, Lehtera to 4.7M cap hit and Byfuglien to 7.6M cap hit already. Not really sure that Lehtera is really worth this amount in a points only league.

I have a whack of RFAs and UFAs at the end of this season in a full keeper league. What are your thoughts on the salary projections for:

RFAs
Gaudreau (CGY) gets paid IMO like tank did. 8 for 60
Johansson (WSH) 3 for 7.5
Schwartz (STL) (I see the few projections for Schwartz above and agree with the 6 yrs $30M, I hope it is less). I answered before but I think you are low in his expectation.
Monahan (CGY) see gaudreau. 8 for 50
Trocheck (FLA) 2 for 3.25
Rieder (ARI) 2 for 2.5
Bennett (PIT) 1 for 750k
Miller (BOS) 2 for 5 (I'm really guessing on him)
Stone (ARI) 4 for 16
Barrie (COL) 6 for 36
Pickard (COL) 2 for 2.10 (one way)

UFAs
McGinn (ANA) 1 for 3
Nielsen (NYI) 3 for 9
Goligoski (DAL) 3 for 14

I am not sure about most these guys, but I predict Scheifele gets a 8 year deal worth around $6-6.5 million per year..

I have a whack of RFAs and UFAs at the end of this season in a full keeper league. What are your thoughts on the salary projections for:

RFAs
Gaudreau (CGY) - Same as Tank
Johansson (WSH) - 4yrs 17mil
Schwartz (STL) - 6yrs 33mil
Monahan (CGY) - 8yrs 54mil
Trocheck (FLA) - 2yrs 4.5mil
Rieder (ARI) - 3yrs 9mil
Bennett (PIT) - 1r QO
Miller (BOS) - uhhh 2 yrs 5mil??? no idea
Stone (ARI) - 6yrs 27mil
Barrie (COL) - 7yrs 41mil
Pickard (COL)- 2yrs 3mil

UFAs
McGinn (ANA) - 3yrs 12mil
Nielsen (NYI) - 3yrs 13.5mil
Goligoski (DAL) - 5yrs 28mil

I get the feeling there is going to be some massive cutting coming up, particularly since Anisimov went up to 4.55M cap hit, Lehtera to 4.7M cap hit and Byfuglien to 7.6M cap hit already. Not really sure that Lehtera is really worth this amount in a points only league.

I'd cut bait with Lehtera 100%. Brutal extension by STL.

Too rich for your blood. I suggest you drop them.

Pretty good guesses. Except I think Kucherov signs for less ($6.0-$6.5 aav) and Lindholm gets Dougie-like contract. I just don't see him signing a long-term deal for less than $5.5.

[Big Baby]

what about forsberg and risto?

Forsberg 6 years $40m - $6.6m aav
Ristolanen 7 years $30m - $4.2m aav

[BBRL20]

Forsberg 6 years $40m - $6.6m aav
Ristolanen 7 years $30m - $4.2m aav

I could live with that.

[JagrBomb]

Kucherov...does he get the same as gaudreau 7M+?

[VincentVega]

Kucherov...does he get the same as gaudreau 7M+?

I don't think so. $6.5 aav is my guess.

[Big Baby]

$6.5 aav would be a steal for Kucherov. If Stamkos is gone I could see him sign long term closer to a Tarasenko type deal. But if Stamkos stays, he might sign a 5 year $32.5m deal.

Should be a very interesting summer.

I just picked up Kadri, have we touched on him yet. My guess is 6 years, $30m. $5m aav.

[deantime419]

Forsberg 6 years $40m - $6.6m aav
Ristolanen 7 years $30m - $4.2m aav

Risto could/should demand more. Could easily use Dougie as a comparable.
IMO Forsberg should come in below Barkov and Kucherov. Might even get a Johansen-esque bridge.

[BBRL20]

I know this likely depends on how he does during the playoffs, but what range do you guys think Eric Staal will get on the open market? Will someone overpay for him again or does he settle for much less than his previous contract?
