Hagelin's real cap hit is $4M, but there's some retained salary. I assume whoever retained that salary no longer has to pay him after this year since his contract is up, so there's no more benefit for us cap wise. He may be out of his prime years but I can't see him going for lower than $3M at all. Guy has speed and the NHL today is about that speed and skill.
As for Kuzy, honestly his contract was a bit rich even before he started playing like shit. Was hoping $7M would be more reasonable as a high end, but he ended up closer to $8M. He better perform next year or it'll be a shitshow. That said, last thing I wanna do right now is cut bait and go back to being a 1C team, like back when Brooks Laich was our 2C of the future. Only Cup that guy has is the one protecting his glass groin.

Yep, there is a very real possibility that we can end up hating/regretting that Kuzy contract. Sure Ovie got 51 goals, but he does nothing else. He’s making more than (at least) Bergeron, Larkin
and Karlsson who both superior all around players who don’t have 600 goal scorer they play with normally

WTF happened to my post?

I doubt they keep the Hagler. I'd like to see him back but can't see how we can swing the dollars. Sure as hell cant pay him $3mil. (We have to save that for a multi year deal for Burka :P )
Conno and Orpik are UFAs. I'd sign both for the same money as last year but very little more. Conno should be able to get more next year (somewhere) based on his 20 goals. I'm not sure Orpik will even play again.
Jake the snake and Burka are RFAs.
Sign Jake, let Burka walk....FINALLY
I think Stephensen is also.
I actually posted all the RFA and UFA guys upcoming several weeks ago but I'm WAY too lazy to look it up again.
Jaskin and DSP are gone. Why would either sign with Caps again?
I don't see the caps making any serious moves. We shall see. Would be nice to get a good D man, but then.... My wife been saying that for years 8-0

Though giving Bura a C- is a bit generous

Yep, season's over. Cup honey moon, also over.. Time to get real on these bitches!! Burt is a soft, 100' footer who doesn't kill penalties.. No way in hell should we even consider 3+ million for him, which IIRC is what the "minimum" is to sign him.. Use that 3 million elsewhere..
(Sad thing is, at his size, speed and skill, with a little motivation and heart, he could be a premier "power" forward.) :-\
