Not a lot of flexibility for a lot of these teams this season. May be an issue if injuries start to pop up.

How the heck do the Islanders have more cap space than we do and a better team to show for it?

They still need some of their prospects to join the team soon (De Haan, Strome, Kabanov) but that is a team headed in the right direction with a ton of money to burn. Goaltending needs to be sorted out long term after Nabokov, so there is a hole to fill. Still, John Tavares at 5.5 million is an absolute steal.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a rebuild.
