RFA
Andrei Kostistysn --- i think he'll sign with russia
Grabovski --- resigned
Lapierre --- resigned
Gorges --- resigned
O'byrne --- resigned
Halak --- resigned
Suprised nobody mention Dandenault yet. Although it's not a sure thing, I think he is out. Most likely a buyout since nobody would trade for him at 1.7mil$ I suppose.
RFAs
Gorges, Josh -- PLEASE RESIGN HIM FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESE
Grabovski, Mikhail -- Would like to him to get another shot, but the teams center depth is telling me he will be in Russia soon enough
Halak, Jaroslav -- If he is resigned make it a short term contract, not because I'm a Price homer but because he deserves to be a no.1. Meet any offer < $660k, although I don't think any team is going to take a chance on him.
Kostitsyn, Andrei -- PLEASE DO NOT LET HIM GO TO RUSSIA
Lapierre, Maxim -- Resign him for 2-3 years at around 1-1.5m
O‘Byrne, Ryan -- Resign Komi version 2.0 (hopefully) Please
UFAs
Brisebois, Patrice -- Don't know ... Honestly
Ryder, Michael -- Gone - Albeit a catastrophic misuse his talent, In my most humble opinion. I've heard many teams interested in signing him for 3-4m.
Smolinski, Bryan -- Coin toss, If Chip is ready let him go if not resign him or find a similar player
Streit, Mark -- If offered money > 2.5m let him walk and find a player within the system with an equally heavy shot, preferably with more accuracy. If he is resigned I just hope he works on his defensive game because amongst our defenseman he and Brisebois make me really nervous
Still under Contract:
Dandenault, Mathieu -- Please get him the **** out.
i read in the Canadiens magazine that AKost gf and kid are moving to MTL next year, plus with his bro there why would he wanna leave. He'll get the big money from the Habs in the summer. 4-5 years 4-5 mil
These playoffs showed me how useless Streit is. Sure he was good on the PP during the year, but other than that he deserves no raise or anything, he can go elsewhere.
Hopefully Dandenault is gone, and maybe Bouillon, I'd rather give the time to a young defenceman.

Hey why don't we just completely forget about his 62 points during the regular season and base everything on the playoffs. That way we can dump Price off aswell because he played like **** these playoffs.
Honestly here's my take on the A.Kost situation, if he was seriously considering taking whatever the **** money from whoever the **** in Russia, he'd probably want his brother to be in the mix as well.
If I were to make an educated guess, S.Kost would probably command 2.5-3m if they are offering A.Kost 4m. So 6.5-7m for 2 players? I'm not to sure. Hopefully Gainey will make sure this isn't even a topic for conversation in a few months.

Sound about right to you?
I feel like 62 points is a terrible indicator of his playing ability, as a defenceman (which is what looks like to me is what he wants). I have no doubt in my mind these stats will fool some GM into offering him 3-4 million + guarantee him a top 4 spot when in reality he spent a good chunk of this year as a forward.

Goes the other way too, why should we give him 3M$ based on his season and completly forget about his crappy playoff.
