Peters on the payroll still for this year but is gone after.
Ward on the books this year and next, but it's not at an exorbitant price.
There's also some dead money in buyouts until after next season (Brouwer) but Stone's buyout is off the books after this season.
If you want a good coach you gotta pay for it - Vigneault and Quennville are getting north of $5 mill a year but look at where their teams are in their Divisions. Torts (2.5) and Sutter (2-3) are basically the best bet if ownership are still trying to save as much money as possible yet put a proven Cup winner behind the bench.
