It's still early, but I wanted to look at our cap situation for next year. How much (if any) do our free agents get?
UFA:
Fisher
Ribeiro
Grant
Zolnierczyk
Hunt
Weber
Liambas
Pardy
RFA:
Johansen
Arvidsson
Watson
Aberg
Mazanec
Gunnarsson
O'Brien
Rissling
Gaudreau
Payerl
For reference, with our current roster minus unsigned players, capfriendly projects us at $54,875,834 for 2017/18. Cap ceiling this year was $73M and probably doesn't rise much, if at all.
Johansen - Does he hit $7M?
Arvidsson - What a difference 4 months makes. Bridge deal or lock him up long term? This deal could sting. $4M for a long contract?
Fisher - He made comments recently indicating he's not ready to hang them up. Currently making $4.4 and scoring at a similar rate as his last contract year. I could see him asking for the same contract, maybe slightly less like $4M even.
Ribeiro - let walk
Watson - Having a good year. Due for modest raise. $1M?
Aberg - 3 years in Milwaukee and keeps getting passed over. Gotta wonder if he considers going back to Europe.
Using my guesses, this puts us at ~$73M for 2017/18, but still have a couple roster spots to fill out. We'll lose someone to expansion, probably Jarnkrok, bringing us down to ~$70M. Hopefully they take Smith/Wilson bringing us to $68M.
We're in pretty good shape as long as ownership is willing to spend that close to the cap. Lots can still happen, this is just an early look.
