We have seven NHL D already under contract for next year. Gio, Brodie, Hamilton, Wideman, Smid, Jokipakka and Engelland.

Priority has to be on inking Gaudreau and Monahan to new deals, then signing 2 goaltenders (maybe Ortio is one, hopefully neither Hiller or Ramo). Then if we're to add Nakladal to a deal of substance, we have to shed ourselves of another D because we also need to get someone to play on the right side of Monahan, that will likely be through free agency. So, $1.5 - $2 may sound right for Nakladal, but we have too many other priorities IMO. He likely signs on the cheap, or walks.
