Exactly.... what are they going to do. They are 2 players short - they need to get, let's say 500K off their cap and add 2 more players plus replace any player they move.
My assumptions are that any player getting 1 million or less doesn't matter, they have no net effect on the cap space regardless (replacement value). Then you have all the players that are "protected" and they won't move:
McDavid
Nurse
Draisaitl
Hyman
Nugent-Hopkins
Kane
Campbell
Barrie
Ceci
Yamamoto
Kulak
Ryan (too small cap to matter)
Janmark (too small cap to matter)
So that leaves only two players as possible salary dumps - and you can't bury their cap because you'll only save 1 million per and be on the hook for the remaining and you'll need to bring someone else up consuming much of that savings.
Puljujärvi
Foegele
Good luck with that Holland.
