UFAs after 18-19: Gardiner, Hainsey, McElhinney
RFA's after 18-19: Matthews, Marner, Leivo, Kapanen, Borgman
They wont want to give one of these guys up, but can they fit new contracts for Matthews, Nylander and Marner, plus new contract or replacement for van Riemsdyk, plus replacement for Lupul, plus new contract or replacement for Gardiner under the cap?

Further evidence of just how lucky we are to have both Sean and Johnny both locked up for just shy of 13.5M combined.
Matthew's will cash in somewhere between 10-12M alone EASILY.
Marner, Nylander will both command AT LEAST 6.5M a piece
I suspect Tkachuk comes in between 4.5-6.5M soon enough. If we dont capitalize with the core we have now, I feel our chances to succeed will go down the ####ter in a real hurry 4-5 years from now.
