Re-signings

TJ Brodie: 6 years, $5.00 million AAV
Andrew Mangiapane: 2 years, $2.50 million AAV
Josh Anderson: 2 years, $2.25 million AAV
Kevin Stenlund: 1 year, $900k AAV
Glenn Gawdin: 2 years, $800k AAV
Tyler Parsons: 2 years, $800k AAV
Zac Rinaldo: 1 year, $800k AAV
Buddy Robinson: 1 year, $750k AAV
Michael Stone: 1 year, $750k AAV

UFA signings

Taylor Hall: 7 years, $7.50 million AAV
Aaron Dell: 1 year, $1.25 million AAV

And that leaves us with this...

Hall ($7.50) - Monahan ($6.375) - Lindholm ($4.85)
Tkachuk ($7.00) - Backlund ($5.35) - Mangiapane ($2.50)
Dube ($.778) - Ryan ($3.10) - Anderson ($2.25)
Lucic ($5.25) - Stenlund ($.900) - Farabee ($.925)
Rinaldo ($.750)

Giordano ($6.75) - Brodie ($5.00)
Hanifin ($4.95) - Andersson ($4.55)
Valimaki ($.894) - Sanheim ($3.25)
Mackey ($.925)/Stone ($.750)

Rittich ($2.75)
Dell ($1.25)

Dead cap: $2.667

Total cap hit: $81.264 million

It's tight! But it works. And I think it checks out.

I'm curious as to which Dmen you leave exposed for the ED. You have 5 that need protecting. Which 3 do you protect? Hanifin, Andersson and Sanheim I presume? Or are you using the 4-4-1 protection model?
