Amazing how many here posting ideas don't get that.
Mangiapane will get over $6M maybe 7M depends how long they sign him for.
Kjillington will be more than Valimaki's bridge likely about $2.5-$2.75
Will need 2-3M for the AHL guys coming up OR a couple more filler free agents.
When the dust settles they only have 1.5 -2.5M to the cap with just one variable:
Monahan
He IS on the cap now as calculated so thereis $6.375M maybe.
He may be ready to play opening day? Who knows?
He may stay on LTIR and return midseason?
Can Treliving "spend" a bit based on Monahan's return schedule?
We'll find out becuase even Francis doesn't know when Monahan's returning.
