Edit:
My quick scribble calculation:
If we can get rid of Michael Stone and replace him with Andersson, and sign Jankowski to a deal at ~1.5 million, we could throw approx. 12.7 million for 1 year at him.
Gaudreau (6.75) - Monahan (6.375) - Kovalchuk (12.7)
Tkachuk (.925)- Backlund (5.35) - Frolik (4.3)
Bennett (1.95) - Jankowski (1.5) - Ferland (1.75)
Hathaway (.650)- Lazar (.950) - Brouwer (4.5)
(extra forward ~ .650)
48.65 million for forwards
Giordano (6.75)- Hamilton (5.75)
Brodie (4.650)- Hamonic (3.857)
Kulak (1) - Andersson (.755)
(extra d ~.650)
23.412 Million for D
Mike Smith ( 4.25)
Rittich (1)
5.25 million for G
Cap: 78 Mil
Buyouts: 904,167
Committed: 77.012
Total:77,916,167
Remaining: -83,833
Would an enormous contract be enough to bring him here for a season? Would it even be worth it for us?
