Savard's contract won't count against the cap, because he'll be on LTIR for the rest of his deal. That's another 4M to play with.

Now let's say you still want to free up more space, do you achieve this by shedding yourself of your top young star forward, or do you look at Chris Kelly's contract, and think, hmmm..... we could probably do without that 3M hit.

Now you've got 8.3M to play with, to sign two players, and you still have Seguin.

Like I said, it just doesn't add up.
Your forgetting about Bergeron next year and Krecji the year after. They're looking for long term flexibility. Rask is going to get 7 million.
