I think I read 14. Rising up closer to 15 after july 1 if the nhlpa use the escalator.
It is gonna be tough for them for a while. They have 17 mil in space at this moment so less than 4 left if the mcdavid deal kicked in this year with draisaitl still to sign. Even with it kicking in next year they will have to shed wages then.
Pieces like Maroon Strome and Talbot that are signed short term will be tough to retain. Unless Draisaitl leaves.
