My prediction.

[JD]

Right now, assuming we sign Briere... this is where we're at.

Daniel Briere $5,000,000
Jaroslav Spacek $3,225,000
Chris Drury $3,154,000
Tim Connolly $2,900,000
Teppo Numminen $2,600,000
Jochen Hecht $2,350,000
Ales Kotalik $2,330,000
Toni Lydman $2,300,000
Martin Biron $2,100,000
Henrik Tallinder $1,600,000
Brian Campbell $1,250,000
Thomas Vanek $942,400
Derek Roy $841,890
Jason Pominville $800,000
Nathan Paetsch $495,000
Andrew Peters $460,000

TOTAL: 32,348,290


Players yet to sign----
((predictions))--'06

Maxim Afinogenov 3,000,000
Jean-Pierre Dumont 2,750,000
Rory Fitzpatrick 1,550,000
Paul Gaustad 950,000
Jeff Jillson 650,000
Dmitri Kalinin 2,000,000
Adam Mair 1,200,000
Ryan Miller 3,200,000
Jiri Novotny 550,000
Chris Thorburn 450,000

I'm probably well off on these numbers.

But I can see Dumont, and Kalinin leaving..along with Biron, of course that is assuming we sign Briere.

Thoughts??:respect:

:rofl:

[SkateZilla]

Maxim Afinogenov,Jean-Pierre Dumont and Biron are gone...

[jamze132]

Maxim Afinogenov,Jean-Pierre Dumont and Biron are gone...
I agree. But I think after Max goes to Arbitration, we sign and trade him for picks.

we Sign all of them, and trade them for Picks,

and If Possible Get Max and JP to sign BEFORE arbitration.....

I see Max staying. He made a HUGE improvement from 03-04 to 05-06. He PASSES. Still lacks a solid finish, but hes fast..is exciting to watch and sets up scoring chances.

i know he went from 30 points to 70, and he needs to learn to either pass or shoot not sit and dance the tango over the face off circle in the Offensive Zone,

if he is awarded more than 3.5, he's gone....

Note : These Salaries dont Apply to the Cap, Cap Salaries are Determined By Average Salary For Duration of Contract. Im Couting Yearly Values because thats what Golisano is basing his self imposed cap on...

The Roster Sits at $32,206,000 counting Briere but with,
Thorburn, Miller, Novotny, Mair, Jillson, Kalinin, Dumont, Fitzpatrick, and Gaustad unsigned,

Thorburn, and Novotny might be gettign 500K and might split it with the AHL,

Mair, and Guastad might get 800K each,

Miller and Afinogenov are gonna get Millions each, JP might get the bad end of the stick, but i definately dont care about Jillson, we were paying him 1+ Mill to play in Rachacha.... Fitzpatrick isnt in my good graces either...

Seeing We Have 5 D-Men Now: (Tallinder, Lydman, Spacek, Numminen, Campbell.)

We Really only need 2 more PLayers, Kalinin and Paetsch would do fine, trade Jillson away .... and fitzpatrick....

[JD]

I'd take Jillson over Fitzy anyday. and how did I add those salaries wrong??

[SkateZilla]

oops, its 32,206,400 , missed vanek's 400 dollars..

i entered all values into Excell worksheet and ran SUM(A1:A28) so...

[SkateZilla]

I'd take Jillson over Fitzy anyday. and how did I add those salaries wrong??

according to NHLPA Roy's 06/07 Salary is $627,000.00, not $841,890
