4.5 is probably a slightly low estimate, as I see Bennett's camp pushing for a 2 year deal closer to 2 per season.

The 7.165 Cap space is for 19 contracts, Bennett makes it 20, so at least 2 more players at minimum wage. In that case it becomes 3M +0.65M*2=4.3M.
You end up with $2.865M or less left to spend on a free agent(which would make it a 23 man roster).
Jankowski and Foo have an NHL base salary of $0.925M, so could be more. Then again Bennett might sign for $2.5M as well.
