This is probably their best year to win it all and their GM went out and added Henrique, Carrick and Stecher lol.
Next year is essentially a flat cap year for them because of Brown / Perry bonuses.
The year after they have Draisaitl and Bouchard looking for new contracts. Assume Draisaitl gets around 13 mil, that is a 4.5 mil increase. Bouchard is at 3.9 mil and will likely want around 10, so about a 6 mil increase. Those two alone is more than the cap will go up. Assume they keep them and surround them with garbage, then McDavid and Skinner need a new contract.
Unless they pay somebody to take Campbell and Kane it will tough to put together any depth at all.
