That 23.2M disappears pretty quickly.
Frolic - 4.3
Backland - 3.575
Stajan - 3.125
Bouma - 2.2
Colborne -3.0 ?
Bollig - 1.25
Jooris - 1.0 ?
Bennett - 0.925
Gaudreau - 6.75 ?
Monahan - 6.25 ?
Shinkaruk - 0.863 My guess to make the team
Ferland - 0.825
Raymond - 2.2
Hathaway - 0.69 another bet to make the team
That's 14 forwards for $37.903M
Defence
Giordano - 6.75
Hamilton - 5.75
Wideman - 5.25
Brodie - 4.65
Engelland - 2.917
Jokipakka - 0.9
Nakladal - 1.0 ?
Total $65.093M
plus Smid at 3.5
Grand total - $68.593M
leaving only - $4.407M for goalies.
If Smid goes on LTI, we'll have $7.907M space for goalies once the season is underway but IIRC he still counts on our opening day cap, so we can send down Hathaway and Shinkaruk for the day, to gain some and bring our cap space to $5.96M.
Conclusion unless something gives (Wideman or Smid traded or bought out) is to spend no more than $5M for our NO.1 goalie and $.96M for our backup.
Of course somethings always change over the summer so this exercise is mostly futile but just in case this is how we currently sit.
