Also, never assume the cap is going up as much as rumoured - if it does, great. But plan for less. I think it's a pretty safe bet that the cap only goes up by $5M next year.

Agreed. In addition, the game 1 starting roster has had significant changes compared to now. People had Kuzmenko in pen into the line up and he's been a healthy scratch most of the year. Mantha is injured and gone for the year. Stuff happens in a season that results in opportunity for young players. No one had Kerins being a game 42 call-up at the start of the season.
