They had $13,268,165 of available deadline cap-space BEFORE this deal, so they can pretty much do whatever the hell they want - AND Ekblad isn't even on LTIR (yet), so not only do they have crazy cap-space but they could then dip into LTIR if they went absolutely bonkers at the deadline.

Florida is in a rare spot where they could absolutely load up, and then have Ekblad return in the post-season...if they can add a 2nd line centre, a top pair defenceman and a scoring winger...
I simply don't see that happening. He's pretty badly hurt and is out a minimum of 12 weeks. He's done for the year.
