I was going to leave work, but then it started to pour. It's Pittsburgh, so the proper course of action is to wait 15 minutes, then try again. Meanwhile, I think I should update you (and refresh my memory) on who's on this damn team, and what contracts we have to work with.
Quick order of business before we do that: Enver Lisin did not recieve a qualifying offer. Remember that a restricted free agent must receive a qualifying offer from his team by July 1 or is eligible for normal, unrestricted free agency. A minimum qualifying offer, generally, is exactly or slightly more than what the player made last season (depending on how much that was, the qualifying offer has to be between 100 and 110% of it). We've chosen not to give Lisin one.
We'll go into more detail on this soon, but for now, just a recap of our contracts, as I believe I understand them:

Marian Gaborik - $7.5 million/year for 4 years
