They'll likely be taking salary back if they trade Ehrhoff or Myers as well.
That plus overpaying for a free agent or two.

They basically have to fill 1/2 of a roster.. the only players they have signed for next year are:
Leino-Hodgson-Stafford
Girgenous-Flynn-Ellis
Stewart
(Ennis/Foligno are RFAs)
Myers-Ehrhoff
Weber
Enroth
