So Domingue down, and 4 league minimum players we assume are likely on the NHL roster at this point in Robinson, Rinaldo, Gawdin, and Petrovic means we have $3.6M and need 1 forward (Mangiapane) and 1 D (Kylington) to sign.

Even if we assume that Mangi comes at a discount and Kylington signs at league min, that leaves hardly any room for injuries. And when those injuries do happen, the bottom half of the roster looks kind of grim. Like AHL grim.
It really paints a picture of how bad Lucic is handcuffing the team right now. You almost have to jettison or use another buyout on Ryan just to be cap compliant.
