I don't see how we can get both signed at $8M+ considering we also need to give Mangiapane and Kylington big raises...

-There are no big UFAs coming off the books
-Unloading Monahan will not be easy
-All the replaceable vets on the roster are close to league minimum anyways, so there isn't much money to be saved

I see $3.5 for Zadorov & $1.5 for Brouwer.
I expect that the Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Kylington & Mangiapane raises will cost an additional $12M (2.5M+2.5M+4M+3M)

Will need to see some serious cap gymnastics this summer or we can expect to lose one of Johnny or Tkachuk
