Thanks to our assistant GM, we have identified several contracts to restructure. Blues will re-sign these players to new deals.
Forwards
Calle Jarnkrok, $0.6m (2019-2021). LW 143/96. RW 150/97 0.8m (2020-2022) +0.2
* Please move Jarnkrok to RW as he is currently listed at Center.
Oskar Steen, $1.4m (2019-2021). C 379/364 0.7m (2020-2022) -0.7
Nico Hischier, $3.0m (2018-2021-EL). C 72/94 3.3m (2020-2023) +0.3

Defence

Jason Demers, $2.8m (2018-2021). D 185/147 1.3m (2020-2022) -1.5
* We noticed Colorado was able to offer a 3-year term for a higher contract value of $1.5m, if we can do that we will resign Demers for $1.5m (2020-2023).
Nick Holden, $5.2m (2018-2021). D 126/68 5.0m (2020-2023) -0.2
Overall, potential salary cap savings of $4.7m or $4.5m depending on the Demers contract.
We are pleased with these new deals.
