[QUOTE="Ace, post: 547284, member: 9774"] After reading the article and doing some simple research I fully understand why he hasn't been a player in free agency. I took all of these numbers from sportrac.com... We all know the situation we are in currently as far as how much money we have and while it appears we have plenty of cap space, as the article states it's going to get eaten up fast. What I did is went further into the future to see what kind of position we will be in after 2015... Going into the 2016 season we currently have $73,852,339 on the books not including Jordy and Randall with only 15 guys under contract. Going into the 2017 season we currently have $54,975,000 on the books and only 4 guys under contract. Assuming APY for Randall and Jordy are $8 and $10M respectively that puts us at roughly $92 on the books for 2016 with 17 players under contract, and roughly $73M on the books for 2017 with 6 guys under contract. Obviously all contracts can be structured differently to create space here and there but from a general financial standpoint the money just isn't there after 2015. Going into 2017 assuming the cap is around $160M we are looking at roughly 45% of the cap being taken up by 6 guys. I still expect him to sign a few guys this offseason but it will be 1 or 2 year deals for little money. [/QUOTE]
