Miller. $3-4m cap increase
Engelland. $0.5m cap increase
McNabb. $0.8m cap increase
Marchessault. $4.25m cap incresae
Neal. $1m+ pay increase
Perron. $1m+ pay increase

So basically, they have enough cap space to keep the team together. No room for any marquee signings like Tavares.
You say that as if keeping the team together is their #1 priority. If they have the opportunity to sign Tavares, you can be quite sure they'll trade assets to make room.

And frankly, I'm not taking your word for any of those alleged cap increases. The Knights have so much depth on their roster right now that it will be very difficult for any one player to hold them to ransom for a big raise.
