What good does 10 million in cap room do when you are now missing this type of player. Who would they sign?

Look at last years FA crop. Good players don't make it to FA anymore.

LA doesn't care what their cap looks like in 5 years when their core is all late 30's. They can trade the players then and retain and rebuild if they suck.
I was also just wondering, I wonder if one of the "sacrificial lambs" will be sacrificed in the expansion draft? Maybe a expansion team might want a brand name and pick up Carter or Gaborik to get some ticket sales going early. Its not like a expansion team will have cap problems.

They are probably stuck with Dustin Brown though...
