Figuring they will make a 1 year play for St. Louis ()

They still have to sign (in addition to Marty):

Staal (would assume wants a 5+ year deal)

Zuccarello

Stempniak

Hunwick

Talbot

Stepan

Hagelin

J.T. Miller

Fast

Moore



That's a lot of zeros and commas

Staal and Zucc were extended months ago, Stempniak is in Winnipeg, Talbot is a trade chip, I highly doubt they're bringing Marty back with the way he looks, and JT/Fast can be given reasonable two-year bridge deals. The only guys they need to lock up are Stepan (priority) and Hagelin.
