It is doable, but they need to commit to doing it first.
If they want to, they could afford iginla.

ya it would mean that they need a few ELCs next year, but the year after would be fine with the cap going back up most likely
would likely mean Raymond is involved in any deal as there's little room to give him a raise, and would need to avoid salary back in a Luongo deal
but
Sedin/Sedin/Kesler/Burrows/Iggy (at 6m for arguments sake)/Hansen/Kassian
Bieksa/Garrison/Hamhuis/Edler
Schnieder
that's 53.4
assuming Ballard/Booth buyouts, Luongo traded for cap would need to be added
still 11m to sign 6 forwards, 3 d, and a backup
very doable considering Schnieder/Tanev are RFAs and probably cheap
so around 8m to sign 5 forwards, 2d, and a backup
