To add to the capspace comments, I can see the value in having lots of it, not only because of potential UFAs (which I think is just a bad idea for this summer) but how many teams are going to need to be creative in dealing with the new cap space. Seeing as the Flames weren't willing to take back salary on Bouwmeester, I'm hoping they'll move in on the cap struggling teams and turn capspace into actual assets.
And as said, we'll see.
Last thing, I'm expecting Stempniak to be moved at the very least so that's another 2.5M off next year. There's only so much space you can have before it becomes redundant...
