If he resigns here it will be for something like 6 for 26 or 5 for 25. If he hits the market Im betting he gets 6 and 40. I really really do not want to see the Blues loose out on Steen so I pray to god he takes a reasonable raise and stays.
Depending on term, anything under $5.5m is fine. Steen as a 60 point player on this team is worth $5.5m.
I was reading about the cap earlier today, and a change in the CBA now means that the new Canadian TV deal will be included in next seasons cap total. That plus the outdoor games and the general growth the NHL is seeing, the cap could be close to $75m next season. Prayers salary expectations are going to be going up...
