I think pretty easily, but only for one season. Next season (using cap friendly):
Hall ($8.5) - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Gaudreau - Monahan - Mangiapane (?)
Lucic - Backlund - Bennett
? - Ryan - Dube
Gio - Rasmus (?)
Hanifin - Kylington (?)
Yelesin - Valamaki
Rittich
$12mil cap space (on $81.5mil cap) to sign a back up (much cheaper than Talbot), Mangiapane, Rasmus, Kylington, and another bottom forward. Plus depth allowance.
