If I was Conroy I would be trying to sign the young RFAs to long term contracts. I would be doing this because he probably needs to spend about 20 million to reach the cap floor and even if the contracts end up being an overpay the rising cap will probably make the overpay somewhat meaningless in the future. I would be trying to sign the following types of contracts

Zary - 8 years 7.1 million a year (basically the Cozens contract)
Coronato - 8 years 6.5 million
Pelletier - 5 years 3.5 million

If the guys hit they will be value contracts when the Flames are ready to possibly sign UFAs and if they don’t they are likely still decent contracts in a 110 million dollar cap world.

I would then look and see if there was a UFA center that could be signed for 3 years or less. And a dman assuming they trade Rasmus.
