OUT
Backlund 3.575
Stajan 3.125
Versteeg 1.750
Jagr 1.000
Lack .350 (buried)
Raymond 1.050 (buyout)
= 10.850M

IN
Tavares 10.000
Hathaway ~.850
Mangiapane .700
Hrivik ~.750
= $12.300M
Tavares signing for 10M, let alone Tavares signing HERE for 10M is nothing but a pipe dream.

The market is going up, McDavid's deal set the bar - and he was an RFA.

Tavares will get above 10.5M, easily, on the market IF he goes to market, and I'd be surprised to see him pick Calgary. He's been buried in arena news in NYI for how long now? Would he really choose a city facing possible relocation (however unlikely) due to arena uncertainty?

I know nothing is certain...but having any dreams of Tavares signing here...whelp.
