Even without front loaded contracts, I still think it would work. There will be guys coming off the books shortly like Wideman ( 5.25 m) in one year, Smid ( 3.5m ) in one year, Stajan in 2 years ( 3.125 m). Hiller and his 4.5m are gone as well. I expect Johnny's and Sean's new contracts to be similar to Taylor Halls, RNH's, Eberle's at 6 million per on a long term (6-8 years).

The one contract I am also not crazy about and could pose a problem is Frolik's. I think it's way to much to pay for a 3rd liner.
