3. Over 30 and over 5. 26.65 M for Campbell, Ekholm, Nuge, Kane, Hyman
4. taking up cap space randomly 11.8M for Foegele, Yamamoto, Ceci, Kulak
5. Fine I guess 5 M for Skinner, Holloway, Broberg and that big defenceman
6. Cheap and need raises as they were useful- Bouchbomb, Kostin, McLeod
7. Cheap and need replacing Janmark, Ryan, Bjugstad
8. James Neal hahahahaha
Tiers 2 3 4 and 8 present a challenge- around 50M combined?

Don't forgot the cap overages. Kenny decided to spread out his cap pverages last year over 2 years. Over the cap again this year? Not sure what the number is but it's adding up.
Bouchard is going to break the cap. Bjugstad was also useful player, do they try and keep him.
I can see a Campbell buyout but Skinner did not step up in the playoffs. Not sure what else they do unless they trade Bouchard.
Trading to get rid of Kassian and the Ekholm trade are looking to be moves that kill this team move forward. They might rank last in prospects.
Did Holloway get hurt again to finish out the year? He is starting to become a bit of a bandaid too which really hurts this team.
