    I haven't seen any numbers discussed on Batum's new contract but Roy retiring has to help him out immensely.

    I don't think it has any effect.

    Might it help us sign Freeland next year?

    Hard to say.

    If Batum's agent is looking for a deal that starts at around the same price as his cap hold for next year then it helps.

    If it is more, than waiting might be beneficial in order to preserve space.
