Hughes is up after next season, not the season after. They have to get him and Pettersson signed the same year. Unless they bridge at least one of them (which is just kicking the cap problem down the road a couple of years), that's going to cost about $20M against the cap. They're boned.
Seriously, go to capfriendly and try to make a team for next year in an $82.5M cap environment where they re-sign Toffoli (which will cost at least $5.5M for 5 years in the current market). It's possible... if Markstrom walks in UFA.
I guess they're probably happy they didn't go long term with Boeser, though. Dude was already underperforming this season, and now he's about to make it 3 straight years without even hitting the 70 game mark.
