Good job landing a 2nd and a serviceable veteran LD. Nothing wrong with that. What do you guys feel the two big contracts will look like? Bertuzzi around 5M AAV, Mantha around 7M AAV? - bikeguy99
4.5-5m for bert and 5.5-6m for Mantha imo. - Feds91Stammer
With Steve negotiating the deals you might get lucky. He sure inked plenty of Tampa guys on bargains. I think Mantha will cost more. Almost 1ppg, plus he is a giant who is in his prime years. I'd take a 30 goal mantha over a 40 goal Laine anyday. So if he gets inked to under 6M, I'd be shocked. But regardless, you boys have plenty of cap to work with finally.
