COL has no bad contracts - EJ @ 6M is the only one and he's only overpaid 2-3M at most.
9.1M in space to extend Lehkonen and 3 final F's.
I bet they come into season under the cap to accrue space, but they could also be in play for Giroux or Trocheck/Strome/Strome/Kadri.
I wonder if they look at Stastny - I'm not sure if he fits this bill but it can be smart to add a vet chasing a cup who everyone likes when going for a repeat. Maybe Brian Boyle?
I wouldn't be surprised if they sign an unqualified former RFA like Howden or Lindblom or Kubalik.
