Next year they will have 26 million in cap space left with only 13 players signed. Eichel, ROR, Okposo and Pominville make a total of almost $30M and they are also overspending on Bogosian and Scandella imo. Reinhart is an RFA and, while he hasn't had a great year, he's getting better and will get some sort of raise on a bridge contract, unless they move him too.
