Assuming Toews and Shaw are back (but not Seabrook) they have 13M cap space with a full 23 man roster already signed.
They have a number of RFA's who will earn a bit more than some of those guys, but nothing crazy...with all of them signed it probably works out to ~9M cap space. So assuming they send any salary back, it's fine, and they shed plenty of AAV in the coming years.
I'd imagine at least one of D Strome/Dach/Debrincat would go back, as well as a young RD (Boqvist or Ian Mitchell). It seems CHI has plenty of other young guys on the verge of becoming full time NHLers, too.
Something around
Boqvist 20+Strome 24+Subban/Delia++
Dach 20+Mitchell 22+Subban/Delia++
