How much over the cap can a team go in the off season? If any

If the flyers overplay their hand and sign Johnny to a big time deal ahead of them clearing the significant cap space required to sign Johnny it puts them in between a rock and a hard place going forward when trying to clear the cap space heading into the season. Teams will know this and will put the squeeze on Philly who would most likely end up spending a higher cost to clear the space. The next 24 hours I think is their window otherwise I can’t see them being able to bring Johnny on without paying an even bigger price than his UFA price tag.
