They only have 5 D-men in this list.
Dubnyk is a UFA.
so they need 4 more forwards and 3 more D-men and a #1 goalie.
If they are able to sign their MVP Dubynk for 6M that leaves 11M for 7 players.
Diaz and Potter are making 700k coming off of tryout contracts... pretty much the effective league minimum.
Their 3rd and 4th line and spare forward AND 6-8 d-men will be making an average of less than 1.5M
They will NOT be signing Raymond for 3M.

And how is this relevant? You're assuming they'll have caphits of 7.5, 6.75, 6.5, 7.5 and 6.0 for 3 wingers, 1 center, 1 defenseman and 1 goalie (who won't get a contract even close to that). Terrible example.
Edit: Didn't see you were responding to Itse's example of Minnesota. Still stands that just because Minnesota can't afford to pay for 3rd liners at 3M doesn't mean that isn't the case.
