Also should have mentioned then the next year they will have about 11 mil or so in raises for Draisaitl (8.5 >13.5 ish) and Bouchard (3.9 > 10ish). Say the cap goes up 5 mil plus Brown’s bonus gone. They will still be short 3 mil or so. This year was their chance. Other roster moves could happen to clear space but are they really going to replace them with better players in FA.
