8-10 holes on the roster, minus one if this pipe dream of Tavares comes true... 20 million cap room using 78 million minus 12-13 for Tavares still leaves you 7-8 million for 7-9 roster spots
you could fill them with AHL'ers if you want: i just happen to think that is not a good strategy.
I am not stressed at all: i just find it funny that people think dropping a 12 million plus salary (because it could very well be 13 million too) isn't going to have an impact on the team's salary structure and actually making the roster weaker overall.

So if you have:
Forwards:
Tavares 12
Gaudreau 6.75
Monahan 6.3
Brouwer 4.5
Frolik 4.3
Bennett 1.95
Ferland 1.75
Lazar 0.95
Tkachuk 0.925
Jankowski 2.0
Mangipane 0.7
Hrivik 0.8
Hathaway 1
Defence:
Giordano 6.75
Hamilton 5.75
Brodie 4.65
Hamonic 3.857
Stone 3.5
Kulak 1.5
Andersson 0.76
Goalies:
Smith 4.25
Rittich 0.9
This adds up to under 75 mil and if you add in 0.9 wasted space from buyouts that is 22 guys about 2 mil room. Also this pretty much is the current roster of players minus Stajan, Bartkowski and Backlund. It only is adding in Rasmus Andersson from the current AHL roster. Doesn't seem to me that a need for 8-9 AHL'ers in because we added Tavares is accurate. Sorry your numbers aren't adding up
Plus we all don't seem to want to trade all our stud prospects for good players because these guys are too good. Then someone suggest to add a MVP candidate to our roster and fill our depth with these same prospects that are to good to trade isn't smart management. Sorry again your numbers are adding up
