Definitely depends on Raymond's salary demands. I don't think 1.7M or 2.5M are Raymond's demands. If it was, we wouldn't have to have this conversation. We're looking at 3M lows and 4M highs. Even then, I would imagine that Kesler should be the priority and he could get 4-5M.
Trying to look at players to compare with M.Raymond, 24 years old, has 22 goals, 45 points in 64 Games. Is projected to hit, 28 goals, and 57 points;
P.Kessel at 21, 36 goals, 60 points in 70 games got 5.4M cap hit over 5 years. Plus, TO gave up 2 1st rounders and a 2nd.
D.Krejci at 22, 22 goals, 73 points in 82 games got a 3.7M cap hit over 3 years.
T.Ruutu at 25, 26 goals, 54 points in 79 games got 3.64M cap hit over 3 years.
R.Clowe at 25, 22 goals, 51 points in 71 games got a 3.5M cap hit over 4 years.
