Unless we can trade Frolik AND Neal, I don't really see how we could make it work this season or next.

- We need to re-sign Tkachuk
- We need to sign a starting goalie
- We'll need to keep Stone if Hamonic is part of the deal
- We will also have Nylander's $7+ million contract

Subtracting Bennett's $1.95m and Hamonic's $3.85m won't be enough room to sign Nylander. If you trade Frolik to make room that's all fine and dandy this season but you are back in trouble come the offseason, hence you will need to try and move Neal.

It just seems like a pipedream is all I'm saying.
And Toronto will be needing the cap space going forward, so they won't be taking any salary back unless it's a young defenceman on a favourable contract, or someone on the last year of their contract.
