It?s on the high side, but free agent speculation often is. That being said, I also wouldn?t be shocked if someone pays him that much.

Starting Goalie:
Top-6 Winger acquisition:
1st round pick:
UFA bargain bin:
Marlie that makes the roster:

I know people are already freaking out about replacing his offense, but he didn't bring a whole lot in the last three playoffs. I've stopped caring what depth counting stats are in the regular season, it really only matters in the playoffs.

Exactly. They're just turning the Senior Director title into Assistant GM level (which might make them harder to poach).
Gilman has been bumped to be the Brendan Shanahan of the Marlies.

That's the other thing - for most (all?) of them, it's mostly a title bump more than anything else.
