No top pair dmen. Only 4 dman signed. No starting goalie, backup making 2.3 mill.
Let's say you get a starting goalie like Niemi, probably costs you around 4 mill (being conservative here). McDavid will likely hit bonuses so thats like 3.5 mill. That leaves about 8 mill to find 2 guys capable of playing top pair. If you sign Schultz likely around 3 mill. Leaves 5 mill to get a dman and your cap space is all gone. Roster is filled out but defence still sucks and goalie will likely suck too.
