Michael Stone is the only true yes in the UFA's or me. I'd like to see Versteeg and Engellend brought back at good value deals if possible but won't be too upset if we lose out. Stone is a legitimate top four blueliner that really cements a fantastic core of Gio, Hamilton, Brodie and him. This is the top priority.
The Versteeg contract is hard to predict, but I'd be careful going anywhere past 1.5 at 2 years. Engellend is in the same boat. One year/1.9 would be lots but two years at 1.5 might work too.
Would rather Johnson is cut loose with Elliott but there has been rumbling he'll be back. The 1.7 he got last year should be cut. Under one million and a two-way contract will suffice IMO. Don't see a market for him elsewhere at all.
