4 dmen (only have smid/ference signed)
2 goalies (starter/backup)
even if some of their ELC guys get promoted to the big club, they need to go out and get at least 2 top3 dmen and a starting goalie.
i was assuming it would look a lot worse, but it's not too bad cap wise i think.

$26M is based on the same cap as this year, which is likely going to go up. They will have to re-sign Schultz too, so that will bite into it.
Basically though, they're Ok cap wise and have their core locked up for a number of years. There's no number 1 D or cup caliber goalie there though either. Maybe they'll score their way to the cup?
