When I look at the Extension value for Gerbe - if he is 89th ranked as C - his salary should be 2.9M not 3.8 as suggested.

If 2.9 M is the right figure I will extend it for 3 years. Flippula will be for 4 years at 4.5M

Thanks

D John Carlson, $4.6m (2015-2016)

in exchange for



C Mikhail Grigorenko, $m (P-15/16)
RW Drew Stafford, $3.9m (2013-2014) - 77th RW (13-14) - will be resigned at 1.1M for 2 years

is doing this to acquire a top D-man who plays on power play and to help his defensive team. His salary might be high but I have enough money to cover it. Losing Grigorenko is OK as I will acquire pretty good players in the 2014 draft and I could afford to lose him as I have already a lot of C in my NHL roster. Stafford could be replace in the FA draft

Thanks BOS for this quick deal

I don't have any firm dates.  The extension period lasts from the end of our season until the end of June.  That's a good 11 or 12 weeks to decide on your extensions and/or trade expiring contracts.  After that we'll have a short period (couple weeks) to select draft keepers.  After that we'll do the supplemental draft.  Once that's done I'll open up Free Agency.  I will let you know well in advance of all deadlines, I just don't have them written in stone.

Will the $ (released contracts through 2013-2014) available at the end of the playoffs so we could use it for extensions
