72M seems like a good estimate...
So the 'Hawks already have $36,613,462 committed (Sharp, Hossa, Bickell, Hjalmarsson, Keith, Seabrook, Crawford) so with 35M cap dollars they'll need to resign Toews & Kane, the bottom half of their forward ranks (including 2nd contract for Saad and third contract for Kruger. I'm assuming that Teravainen will fill the vacant top 6 spot) their 3-7 defensemen (including 3rd contract for Leddy) and a back-up goalie (While leaving enough money to re-up Seabrook the next year). That's going to be a tight fit.
