My predictions:
-Johnny will sign for 8 years, between $9.25-9.75 per (+2.75 current cap hit)
-Matthew will sign for 3/4 years at $9.5 per (+2.5 current cap hit)
-Oliver will sign for 6 years at $4.75 per (+4 current cap hit)
-Yeastmode will sign for 2 years at $5.75 per (+3.25 current cap hit)
With Zadorov & Gudbranson gone, Brower off the books, Monahan traded (retained) or bought out, and the extra $1M in projected cap, this will give us an additional $12.25M to play with.
The increases above will require ~12.5M . This doesn't include the replacements for Zadorov, Gudbranson or Monahan.
Basically someone needs to go. Either one of the above, or someone else on the roster (Lucic? Hanafin?).
My gut tells me it is either Tkachuk, Mangiapane or Hanfin (I don't see Lucic retiring).
