A survey among several prominent general managers didn't paint a pretty picture with regard to the value of Wells, Swift and Williams. The consensus is that the volatile Williams will return because there are three years remaining on a contract that pays $7.5 million for the 2005-06 season, Wells (given that the Griz won't pick up an $8 million option) will only receive offers starting at the mid-level exception, and sign Swift for more than three years and at far less ($5-6 million) than the $10 million he's seeking. </div> Source
