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.

I don't disagree with the over strategy but what has Pelletier done to show he's a $3.5M player? Do you see that much improvement coming such that will be a good contract?
