Delta between Monahan and Eichel's contract is $3.6M.

So really with a 21 man roster they could make it happen with no other moves and that's assuming no other roster piece is going back to Buffalo.

Gaudreau - Eichel - Coleman
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Lucic - Backlund - Dube
Ritchie - Lewis - Pitlick

Hanifin - Andersson
Zadorov -Tanev
Valimaki - Mackey
Kylington

Markstrom
Vladar

That is $81,325,000 cap hit, or $175,000 of cap space. If anything now that they have Valimaki and Dube both locked up it gives them a very clear view of exactly what they need to do in order to fit Eichel in, and ensures they can do it as long as one of Gaudreau/Monahan/Tkachuk are going the other direction.

Also not sure if there are going to be taxi squads again this year...but if they are going to have taxi squads then really it makes sense to just have a 20 player roster.
