like, MAYBE pittsburgh if they protect Crosby/Malkin/Kessel/Letang/Fleury are protecting a large chunk of the cap already...but I can't see it being that big a deal for most teams...

Chicago could be close.
Toews, Kane, Hossa, Anisimov, Teravainen, Kruger, Seabrook, Keith, Hjalmarsson, Crawford gets you to approx $57M and you still have another forward to protect.
(Assuming Panarin won't be eligible as a 2nd year North American pro - but don't know the rule there)
They could let Kruger go. Hossa could be another option but he has a NMC.
