I predict that ideal first liners will be signed for 8-12 million per year, second liners for 6-8 million, second/third liners 3-6 million, third/fourth liners 1-3 million, call-ups up to 1 million, top defensive pairings 6-8 mill, 2nd pairing guys 4-6 mill, starting goalies 6-10 million.

it's all about supply and demand and team resources. Many teams can afford to pay more, have competing needs with scarce resources, hence high market price. It's just plain economics.

You don't mean $12M + a signing bonus of $6M do you?

confused That would be a fool! I was talking about the winning BIDS.

There may be a fool or two by the time all is said and done. We'll have to start a UFA review thread to review best and worst signings.

It's going to be an interesting FA period.  Judging by the "needs" I am hearing from many teams, there will be much more demand than supply.  Some teams are going to be bitterly dissapointed when they are not able to grab the guy(s) they want.  It seems every team is looking for a #1 forward, a #1 defenseman, and a #1 Goalie... maybe some of you guys should take a good hard look at your team and instead of just going for the big names because they are available, look at addressing what it is your team really needs... we can't all land the big names...

Excellent point.

"I'm-a-gonna-get-'em" = Armageddon

Much better deals can be had the trade deadline but many won't be patient, and can't be, with a few teams below the league minimum in salary level and several near it.

Those who most need it will get significant assets.

it's those who hoped to be only partial players in UFA, thinking could add a star player at a reasonable salary level that will be most disappointed. The power is with L.A., Vancouver, Washington, Anaheim, etc, teams that NEED some talent!!

(So those teams that already have several stars on their roster, don't whine too much when you're outbid in unrestricted free agency.)

What I am curious to see is if teams that miss out on the big-time players will continue to throw money at crappy players that aren't worth it. Everyone knows Sakic and Jagr are getting a boatload. If Anson Carter gets $3,000,000 then people are insane.
