I'm interested in what the dollars are...

It certainly gives us more options on how our lines are. I like this signing.

I cant see it being more than $2M per year with our cap space and with our need of a dman. I wonder now if we are packaging youth for that Dman?

I can see Raymond, Grabner or Hansen being in a package.

Ya, it's looking like 2.5 is the number. A little high, but that is normal with UFAs.
