Some guys who, if do we want to retain them likely will be making more than their current pay in 2016-2017 when Bollig, Raymond, Engelland still are on contract. I think that's more than 15 mil in raises, so I can only hope the cap goes up.

Is it a huge issue? No, but it is kind of concerning that Treliving is fine with these long term deals to fringe guys who are more likely to be waived than a part of any decent trades. That's all. His most thoughtful signing was the Hiller one and shouldn't be ignored on the other hand, but it also makes for some head-scratching as his is the most moveable.
CSW addressed some of the issues already, but I would also like to point out that the year you are referring to is the last year of The contracts that seem to bother you.

And being in the last year makes them much easier to get rid of, if so desired.

This is a non issue.
