2011 roster had Malhotra at 2.5M, Lapierre at 900K, Higgins at 1.9M, Hansen at 825K, Torres at 1M, Glass at 625K, Tambellini at 500K. That is what I could find, and from what I can remember, it seems accurate. Trying to fill your bottom six with Free Agent signings, is going to have you end up with overpayments.
Exactly. And even if you fill your bottom six with RFA players you're likely to overpay to sign them to term. Beagle signed a 3 year $1.75MAAV contract with Washington coming off a 10 goal 20 point season. Previously, his offensive totals looked like that of Brendan Gaunce. Antoine Roussel was coming off a 4 year $2M AAV contract. Clearly their respective teams took a chance and gambled that they were for real and would be mainstays on their respective teams.
