I don't think Lewis will ask for much more than the minimum. From what he and his dad have said, they know sticking with Sutter is the best way to prolong his career. If Lucic goes and the rest of the 4th line is kids, Lewis is the ideal vet to have as a 12/13th forward.

Ritchie could probably be kept for minimum or close to it, if the Flames want him as a 13/14th forward.

I doubt Z will take a discount, so he probably goes sadly. A re-signed Stone, Mackey, or Valimaki could take his spot.

I could see Gudbranson signing for $2-2.5m since he's bounced around a lot in his career and is looking for stability.
