Some of those are a bit inflated... for example I doubt Aulie is going to get more money than Gunnar did last offseason considering Gunnar had played at least 2x the games in the NHL and was improving whereas Aulie is probably worse than last season. I don't think Kulemin will ask for 3 million either after his worst season ever. Franson will probably get under 2 considering what Gunnar got as well. And I doubt Gustavsson will be worth 2.5 when Elliott just got 1.8 for 2 years and he's a Vezina candidate.
Not to mention if they bring in a big name, they almost certainly won't be sending the same $ back, so it may get even tighter.
That is why I think Macarthur is gone.
If anyone will take him, I suspect Komisarek is gone also. - GoneFullRetard
I hope of that list that Liles signs for a good price, but we all know Grabo and Mac are likely out the door with one of Gunnar or Schenn...should shed some cap space.

There might be a few teams looking to add contracts in the summer to make the cap floor. There might be some interest in guys like Mac, Connolly, Lombardi, Armstrong, Komisarek. I think there's money he can shed if needed to bring in another big contract.

Man Im telling ya, this guy is going to be good... - noename09
He's just got to learn to shoot more and pick his shots, rather than just shooting to get rid of it. His control in a zone (Ours or the opponents) is ridiculous. The nickname Jake "The Snake" is definitely well deserved...

Connolly, highly unlikely...and quite frankly, if were moving Grabo we could actually use him for another year while Colborne readys himself...with respect to Lombardi, other teams could start showing interest if he continues to improve, but over the summer if anything. Taking on contracts of his size with his injury history is normally within a salary dump...so...

they dont call him Silver Stick for nothing...the guy is pretty damn composed with the puck for a newbie...
BREAKING NHL NEWS**Brian Burke, GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs has officially traded his tuna salad sandwich with Anaheims GM, Murray for his chicken salad sandwich. More details to come...there could also be a milk involved. Stay tuned.
...after voicing my displeasure with Lombardi buzzing around the perimeter, he went and had 4 solid games in a row
....after stating I have no problem with the Leafs moving MacArthur, he pots the game winner.
.....I'm gonna have to bash Riemer next.
