RFA's have some contract leverage, but they can't leave the organization directly. So while the Caps may not have salary control, they do have control of his presence within the organization. Some other team could present Sundin with an offer sheet after he becomes an RFA, but the Caps could match it -- and offer sheets for RFA's are so rare that it isn't a concern.

I may be wrong about this but if he is an RFA at the end of the next season, the Caps have to come to an agreement or he plays the next year at an arbitration salary and is a UFA at the end? If that is the case, we only have control for the next two years.
The other issue with RFAs and UFAs in the next two years is that the Caps won't be a desireable team to play for - unless they get overpaid.

I can see moving Eller, I think Sheary is worth a 2-3 year contract.
I still think the major improvement they need won’t come without a major salary dump.

After the fire sale we'll still have Mantha, Carlson, Backstrom, Oshie and probably Kuz so lots more to be done. I see Orlov had 2 goals and an assist last night. He's one guy I would have liked to have seen stay.
