CapFriendly is showing the Leafs with 12 roster players signed for next season with $21 million in cap space.
If you take about $5 million for 6 players making near league minimum, that leaves them $16 million to sign 4 players. If they spend about $6 million on 2 goalies, that leaves $10 million to spend on a couple of d-men. That's workable, especially if they can get a couple players to take discounts to fulfill their dreams of playing for the Leafs.
With the cap going up 5% per year for the foreseeable future, these big deals eat up a lower percentage of the cap as time goes on too.
