Can't we pull a LaBlanc in this situation? Let's say that Tkachuk wants 8.5m x 6 (51m). We sign him to a 1 x 6m and then on January 1st we sign him to a 9m x 5 afterwards. Frolik's, Brodie, and Hamonic will be off the books and we will have room to sign one of those guys and the remainder of the cap covers what Tkachuk wanted.
