Janmark 1.25M (now mostly buried in AHL)
Campbell 5M
Kane 5.125M
Yamamoto 3.1M
JPRV 3M
Kulak 2.75M
It's not even poor long-term planning...it was poor immediate execution

I don't understand why they pay Kane so much when there was no other team bidding against them. May be the guy sitting on Holland's right shoulder whisper $3 and then the guy on his left shoulder whisper $4 and the guy on the left counter $5 and the right side guy said $5.125?
And Kulak getting paid $2.75M?
