So this is something that will be interesting for the canes as we are now a cap ceiling team. Tom has said many times over the last few years we are going to spend all we can.
This projection while good to see is much lower than the expected huge jump that many thought would occur. 7-8M.
With Aho getting his new deal that’s about 1M of that projected bump accounted for if we kept our roster as is.
With guys like Pesce, Necas, Jarvis, Skjei and Teuvo needing new deals it’s looking like there’s gonna have to be some give from this group.
psyopsono
Hoping that this is used for Necas and Pesce, those are the pending guys I most want to keep (Jarvis too but idk if his figure will be all that high)
