People are too hung up on salary when this team needs to overpay a couple of players to avoid the salary floor for the next 2 years.
We have so much cap space that it would be perfectly fine to overpay a player like Cammalleri who is a known quantity to this team. We can sign him to a term of 2 years or so while we develop our prospects and sign them to contracts as well.
I'd rather keep a known veteran that has been good to this team around for 1-2 years than sign an expensive UFA or several UFAs which could take positions away from developing players.
