It is going to be worse next year too.
UFA deals coming off the books that aren't on LTIR:
Ryan - $1,250,000
Shore - $850,000
Murray - $750,000
League min is going up to $775,000 next year. Those 3 players save $475,000 on league min replacements.
RFAs:
Bouchard
Puljujarvi
Skinner
McLeod
$10.8 mil cap space and this does not include any bonus overages that I'm sure they already have and any new ones that they will have from this year. They might have less than $10 mil to sign those 4 players. Bouchard will get at least half of that. If Campbell doesn't turn it around and Skinner plays a bunch this year, they will have to trade guys to make space for just Skinner and Bouchard. They are mess this year and next, but McDavid is staying for sure because they are contenders.
