Brodie + Bennett = 6.6 million
Karlsson = 6.5 million until 2019-2020 and can probably be signed long term for 9.5 - 10 million (arguably the best d man in the league)
Brouwer and Frolik free up 8.8 million in 2020-2021
It is definitely feasible capwise. And I think its worth the risk in giving up Bennett and Andersson
