More Upcoming Salary thoughts

[roenick27]

Sorry to piggy back Jouko-Pouko's thread, but I know I have some guys that have expiring contracts that I would like some feedback on as well..We use real salaries as well.

My original thoughts:
Steve Downie 1 year 2M
Anders Lee
1. 2 Year Bridge 4.5
2. 6 Year 24M
Tarasenko 8 Years 53M
Niemi 2 Year 8M
Soderberg 1 Year 2.2M
Pulkkinen 3 Year 4.5M
Neuvirth 1 Year 1.75
Enroth 1 Year 1.75

Soderberg: Expect more than that, probably breaking the 3M mark.
Downie: Agree, a one year deal somewhere
Anders Lee: Hopefully a bridge deal - will be good for him and the Islanders
Tarasenko: Big money incoming. At least 7M a year.


Niemi: Doubt he will be a Shark next year.
Neuvirth: Also could end up anywhere.
Enroth: I can see him resigning in Dallas.

[Jouko-Pouko]

Steve Downie - 1 year @ $2M (can't figure out a comparable for him)
Anders Lee - 2 years @ $2.5M (similar to what Alex Killorn got)
Vladimir Tarasenko - 8 years @ $8M (The Phil Kessel contract)
Antti Niemi - 2 years @ $4.5M (The Jonas Hiller contract)
Carl Soderberg - 4 years @ $4M (similar to what Mats Zuccarello got)
Teemu Pulkkinen - 1 year @ $900k (hasn't proven himself yet, that could change)
Michael Neuvirth - 4 years @ $4M (similar to what Jaro Halak got)
Jonas Enroth - 2 years @ $2M (similar to what Ben Scrivens got)

My Stab

Steve Downie 2yrs, AAV$3.1m

Anders Lee 1yr, $1.7m

Tarasenko 2yrs, AAV$5.4m (lucky if you got him. Johansen 2.0)

Niemi 2yrs, AAV $5.9m

Soderberg 3yrs, AAV $2.5m

Pulkkinen 2yrs, AAV $1.4m

Neuvirth ?

Enroth 2yrs, AAV $2m

So do you think that both Niemi and Neuvirth will be starters next year?

I think both of them will be paid like starters at least. Buffalo, Edmonton, San Jose, Winnipeg... These teams have less than certain goalie situation, so there's room for both Niemi and Neuvirth. And I think both of them return to Europe if they don't get good enough offers from the NHL.

True plus you could add Carolina, St Louis (sort of), Calgary, Arizona, potentially Minny as well as teams that at least have some question marks.
They better not go to Europe. That would really hurt my G depth
