OK deal, though pretty early in the off season to be signing that level of player. I suppose their top 6 is pretty set though. I wonder if they will try to sign a bunch of bottom 6ers and then tell Hyman “this is how much we have left”.

This puts them at $70M with 7 UFAs and one RFA to re-sign or replace. Hyman, Galchenyuk, Foligno, Hutton, Bogosian, Dermott, Andersen (I’m assuming Thornton and Nash are gone).

I imagine they will replace Andersen, but they will feel pressure to sign Foligno after spending so much to get him. And Bogosian may have played his way into a decent contract.
