8 million between Bennett, Rittich, eat bread and Hathaway.
Bennett at 3, Rittich at 3, the other 2 at a million a piece average.
Leaves 1 million in wiggle room....just dont see Tre doing such as you never know when a deal comes that you want to jump on, and to be prevented because you are at the cap?

Not ideal of course, but it is the price of having a good team. Again, good teams don't stay good without lots of ELC players. It is the best way to get cap relief. It makes players like Bennett, Hathaway, and Mangiapane expendable.
This cap crunch is a big part of the reason I was so unsure about Neals contract. While it is not the ugliest in the world, it sure makes things tight from this year moving forward.
