Value of: Tampa extensions the next 2 years

[Point21]

With Colton and Foote being the only key RFA's needed to be signed next year (assuming Killorn doesn't come back). and the very good chance they re-sign Hagel and Stamkos on the first day of free agency. what are some realistic numbers we can expect these 4 guys to sign for?\

Current cap hit and term left
Colton $1.125m x 1y
Foote: $850k x 1y
Hagel: $1.5m x 2y
Stamkos: $8.5m x 2y

Not quite sure what Ross Colton would want in salary or what Tampa offers but Colton is eligible for arbitration at the expiration of his current contract.

Ross Colton has been a good contributor to the Lightning lineup and has preformed admirably in the Playoffs winning a cup with Tampa.

Colton could be due for a sizable raise if he doesn’t take a team friendly deal.

Stamkos will probably want more term, especially if he has another big year

Colton and Hagel will be looking for more

I can honestly seeing Stammer taking less in this contract, even if he produces. He is going to retire a Bolt and has to know how the teams ass is always against or over the cap.

Hagel all depends on this season. If he can get up to 20-25 goals this year with better deployment, he'll probably ask for $5M. Will we give it to him? Maybe not, especially if Colton keeps pace. He is more versatile than Hagel, so its better to flow Hagel's raise into Colton IMO.

Even with a massively improved season this year, Foote would at max be $3M on another bridge. He would have to have a huge breakout season for him to demand even that.

Ideal perfect world for the Bolts:

Stammer - 6y x 6m
Colton - 7y x 5m
Hagel - 3y x 4m
Foote - 2y x 2.5m

This is with everyone improving and taking the team friendly deals. And it wouldn't be a Bolts thread without mentioning...Taxes.

Assuming Hagel does a lot better in Tampa after a full training camp, I'm guessing he'll get a sizeable raise. Same with Colton. I have no idea what to guess for Stamkos. For Foote, it largely depends on how he does this upcoming year.
