With internal budget you need to look at the actual salaries, not cap hits. The number above you took from capgeek is the total cap hits which doesn't really matter to Ducks; what matters is the actual salaries paid next year. Blake and Sbisa for example are making significantly less money than their cap hits are next year. Capgeek doesn't list the total amount of actual salaries paid so you need to look those up yourself.

Also Cogliano got much more than you expected. 3 year deal with a cap hit of $2.39 million.

News today, which I'm sure you've already heard is Andrew Cogliano signed a 3 year deal with a 2.39 cap hit. Breakdown is as follows: 2011-12: $2,150,000 2012-13: $2,350,000 2013-14: $2,670,000. Maybe Cogliano and Koivu will be played as 2a and 2b lines. (That's what I think they should do anyways).

@Carcillo:
Yes your right, for some reason I wasn't thinking. I'll have to look into how close they are.

As for Cogliano, it was a surprise to a lot of people. After making 1 million last season, I would expect a slight raise, but not more than 2 million. Though with the rise in the cap, the contracts are rising.

Cogliano's words on the signing earlier this morning:
“I’m really happy,” Cogliano said. “This is probably one of the best moments in my career. I’m able to sign a three-year deal with a great team that I want to be with. I want to be on a winning team. I think this is the perfect situation for me.”

"I wanted a situation where I didn’t have to think about a contract for three years. Now it’s time for me to prepare myself, come in and help the team."

“At the end of the day, that’s why they got me. I can put all this stuff behind me. This has been going on for me for a couple of years now. I’m fully focused on training, getting better and improving coming into camp.”

Glad to see the Pacific Division almost entirely represented here on Dobber. Definitely a number of fantasy relevant players in Anaheim.

Welcome aboard Jeff.

Anaheim Ducks have signed center/left wing Mark Bell to a one year two-way contract. NHL salary: 575,000 AHL salary: 105,000. Interesting to note that Bob Murray originally drafted Mark Bell when he was the Chicago Blackhawks GM in 1998. The former 8th overall pick hasn't played in the NHL since the 2007-2008 season when he was a part of the Toronto Maple Leafs. His career in the NHL went south when he was involved in an accident due to drunk driving. He then played two seasons in the AHL before playing in the Swiss-A league.

No more than a depth signing, he could see time as the 4th line center should Bonino fail to crack the roster, but most likely lands in the AHL. Don't expect him to be fantasy relevant any time soon.
