I've brought this up before, quite a while ago and it has not been rectified yet. Our cap situation this summer. I made some estimates as to what our pending FAs will re-sign for and punched them into Capgeek. Volchenkov for 4.25 million, Foligno for 2.1, Campoli for 1.4, Picard for 1, Regin for 900 000, Winchester for 750 000, Donovan for 600 000.
Foligno could very likely be signed for much less, around 1.5-1.7 if its a 1 or 2 year deal, but to sign him for 3-5 years it will have to be at least 2 million. 2.1 for 3 years or 1.75 for 2 years would be my guess. So here is what it came out with:
2010-2011 Ottawa Senators
