That doesn't work because you're not accounting for the fact that they were well over the cap this season and used over $14 million in LTIR to remain compliant. It also doesn't account for the raises on new contracts some players have already signed for next season, Matthews and Nylander especially.
Also, you don't need to go through all that work anyway if you're already on CapFriendly. Just scroll down to the Roster and Cap Hit Statistics sections. It shows that the Leafs currently have 16 roster players signed for next season, with a combined projected cap hit just over $69 million. Which gives about $18.5 million in cap space on a projected $87.7 million cap.
