I'm thinking Bishop, Giordano and Tarasenko get swapped out for cheaper contracts.

For me it comes out to $87M without Klefbom on IR, but there's a few RFAs and Dreidger needs a contract. I don't expect them to try and keep a team like that, if they can draft those guys I'd think some of the big ones will get moved
I also think they might take Foote over Gourde and try to make a side deal with Tampa, I doubt they're going to help Tampa for free. I just like Gourde a lot
I might be wrong but I think you're allowed over the cap in the Off-season, you just need to be compliant by the start of next season. Tampa is already at $85M and don't have a full roster
