Since management assumed they were going to have Kylington you can add 1.738 to that number, bringing the cap hit to 82.891 If you had Toffoli instead of Yegor the cap hit would be 84.041 for a 22 man roster, putting them 500K over the cap. Assuming they have a 23 man roster like most teams, in the Toffoli world they would have been about 1.5 million over.
Now I guess they could have assume that they would not have Kylington, and that Rooney would get injured as well miraculously to save that cap hit and that they could have ran a 22 man roster and been ever so slight lu under the cap. But that is a lot of things that need to go right to keep Toffoli.

I must be reading this incorrectly then. Regardless, I'm sticking with they should have traded someone other than their leading scorer.
