Some teams need to understand the minimum. What are they going to do?

Question

Columbus and Phoenix need to spend $4MM. Atlanta needs to blow $10MM and the Kings might have to sign Blake to $13MM just to get their share of revenues.

Answer 1

It is only day 3 of free agency, there is still plenty of UFAs left to sign.  Plus a lot of teams still under the cap have there own RFAs to focus on.

Atl has Lehtonen

Phx has Carcillo, Mcratton and Jones

The Kings will sign atleast 4 of their own RFAs, and with the ridiculous contracts being handed out already O'Sullivan and Stoll will get contracts of $ 3 mil + per season.

Answer 2

This is why teams are signing "undisclosed" contracts it's a #'s game part of the suprise tactic. You think the team is broke...then bam!!!(not BOOM) they sign big big names or pull a contract out of there wuzzies!! Waiting too post $ is the same game.

Answer 3

They better not touch Vermette or Mezaros....that's all I gots to say...

Answer 4

ATL will be closer when they sign Lehtonen and a few other RFAs.

Dont forget that many teams have RFAs that havent signed....

CLM has Umberger to sign....also Lindstrom, Picard

Kings have a few also..... OSullivan, Stoll, Thornton, Willsie
