That becomes less true with each passing season.
Weegar will be 6x$6.5M next year - if he were a UFA, he’d get more term and more dollars.
You couldn’t sign Kadri on July 1 for 4x$7M either.
Coleman’s UFA after next season.
Eight teams currently have $8M+ in cap space, and the cap is going to continue to rise now that it has 32 real NHL teams instead of 31 and a cap laundromat.
Huberdeau isn’t going anywhere, but everyone else can move without too much pain.
