5M to sign Bouma, Colborne an extra forward and a 6th and 7th defenseman isn't completely out of the realm of possibilities (prior to signing a 6th defenseman for 3M). In any case they weren't over the floor...
They also probably want some leeway to make players, like say Wideman, tradable in the future. Being right at the cap floor could limit roster, callups, trades, etc. in a similar way as being at the cap ceiling does.
