So, on a related note, can we carry a ~8 mil. Kessel and a Phaneuf at or above 6.5 mil? One has to think that would be pretty tough going forward....

Kessel extension should be completed this morning. Talks intensified this wknd. Phaneuf negotiations will soon become priority.

Well, we have 2.5 million in dead space. Add that to Kessel's current salary and you get approx 8 million.
But you have to look at the roster as a whole and then guess at the cap increase.

I still get the feeling that Phaneuf comes in at the same or a bit lower of an AAV.

Only two players have finished top-10 in league scoring in each of the past two seasons: Steven Stamkos and Phil Kessel.

Magnitogorsk?

Nik the Trik said:Not that I have a ton of hope for this but I wonder if Phaneuf, given his position as Captain and because of all of the salary-related criticism he's faced as a Leaf, would be inclined to take a relatively less lucrative deal and save himself some of that headache. I don't think he's got an obligation to do it but considering the mixed feelings many still have on his Captaincy, I could see it being a decision he'd consider.
