Hubey and Weeger make about 9m combined now
I expect they’ll take up about 17m next year
Monahan and Lucic give us 12m in space next year
So that 4m would go towards Kadri.
We have 9.3m right now, but all of that will go towards Mang (6), Kylington (2.75) and a fill in/rookie.
So we can hope the cap goes up by about 3 million and be able to ice this entire line up including Kadri next year.
But we will need to either give Vader a raise/find a cheaper option, and add two replacements for Monahan and Lucic.
Tight but I can see a way it will work.
