Yeah, it's a Mark Spector article, but content.

Just a shout out to the jerks at TSN who just wrecked our local sports talk community.

With any luck, our guys can regroup on another station, sooner rather than later.

Ryan McLeod and Klim Kostin are both arbitration eligible RFAs this summer, and Bouchard is also an RFA.

McLeod's QO is $813,750. Kostin's QO is $787,500. Bouchard's QO is $874,125.

For UFAs we have Bjugstad, Janmark, Ryan, and Shore. Last season their cap hits were $900k, $1.25M, $1.25M, and $850k, respectively.

Obviously there's a lot of buzz around how we handle Bouchard. We'd all like to find some magical way to lock him down long term now, but a two-to-three year bridge is the expectation.

With the cap only going up by a million (for hopefully the last time) and us having limited cap space along with limited options to create more, is there worry about having to choose between McLeod and Kostin?

Would you make offers to any of those UFAs if it were up to you? Any thoughts on depth replacements for those who we don't keep? What are your thoughts on the decisions we have to make with our pending free agents over the next months?
