You could Add St Louis to that list, while they are not up there in Salary yet, they have an impressive RFA list this year, with more guys coming next year.
Pietrangelo, Stewart, Berglund, Shattenkirk, Allan, Russel, Cole This year
Sobatka, Schwartz Next.
while their cap situation doesn't look that bad now, pencil Pietrangelo and Stewart in at over $10M between the 2 of them, and it starts to get tight knowing that Berglund and Shattenkirk will also command big raises.
If you can work it with the Players.
I would offer sheet Piertrangelo at a $6.5M+ cap hit, then when St Louis matches, offer sheet another one of those 3 at a number St Louis can no longer afford.
If they don't match good, we will have basically traded JBo for Piertr + our 1st(2014) for their 1st(2013) + some other picks and prospects thrown in.
