As per CBA 05-06 (dollar figures are to be increased each year by percentage of average salary increase)
Since average salary has increased from $1.46 million (05-06) to $2.4 million (10-11), that is approx. 64% increase therefore compensation would change to approximately as follows:

Scary to go after big RFAs because you lose a lot of picks. It would have to be a franchise player to make it worth it.

I think they will match 4.91 million on Dubinsky and Callahan this year. I believe both their contracts are up, and people are assuming they will sign for around 4 million. There is no way they would let Dubinsky and Callahan - NYR's fans 2 favorite players - just go.
