What does that really mean anyway? The team is close to the salary cap, the roster is very similar to last years, and has several important players over 30. The cap situation in a year is about to be as tight as its been since Darryl's tenure, with incoming raises to Gaudreau, Monahan and Giordano. Murray Edwards and co will expect a playoff team at minimum with their financial commitments.
