Yeah, but that's 9.8 cap space for 6 roster spots.
If those four cost 6, and you are 750k for the other, you still only have 3 million left.
And those 4 will cost more like 7 than 6,imo
Unless he signs them all to 1 year deals? Bit risky but if he did that I think he could keep it at 6 or less. He also can decide that after July 1 too. Sign Sharp/Marleau to 4 mil deal he could choose to sign all of them to 1 year deals or maybe bury Stajan in AHL if he can't keep them under the cap

I feel like we got fortunate various key contracts came up - we signed our stars before it seems McDavid is going to reset expectations. With McDavid getting what he does and hearing what the likes of Draisaitl, Johanson might command, Monahan and Gaudreau would surely have cost more this year or next if that's when they happened to come up. We all sort of thought the Gio cap was silly, but we've more or less stuck to it!! Combined with value contracts like Brodie and Hamonic, we sit pretty for years, when our window to win opens.

Or Sharp signs a 1 year 2 M dollar contract to go for the win with his old Hawk buddies...
Sometimes this organization baffles me. To think there was actually some serious doubt as to whether Treliving would even be renewed after the season ended.

And by "this organization" you mean random, based on nothing, speculation?
There's only three things I would criticize about the current roster:
1) Brouwer should be swapped with a top RW
2) Stajan should not still be under contract
3) The goalie tandem should be a little more proven
Other than these things, it's a great line-up.
"Oh get a top RW, just get a top RW. Why doesn't he strap on his top RW helmet, squeeze down into the top RW cannon and fire off into top RW-land where top RW's grow on RWees."
Seriously though, I don't think Treliving could've done any better this offseason. Hit it out of the park on every move.
