Next year looks like it might be a bit tight with the cap. Smith's contract is coming off the books (plus about $900k of buyout money for Bouma and Murphy) but will need to be replaced and otherwise it is just Tkachuk, Bennett and jankowski... all of whom are looking at raises. However, the next year Brouwer and Frolik come off the books along with Hamonic, Brodie and Stone. By then some young guys should have established themselves.
