Would be nice for the Isles but in today's NHL tough to do. They also have Barzal in two years. Beast offense if they can keep it together though.
We currently have $34 Million in cap space for next season, with Tavares, Kulemin, Bailey, Chimera, DeHaan, Hickey, Seidenberg, and Halak all hitting UFA this offseason. Hoping we sign Tavares, for $10-$12M/per, brings that number down to $22-$24M, more than enough room to re-sign Bailey and still have money for Lee & Eberle next year.
I'd expect Snow to start looking for cheaper bottom 6 options - no reason to pay Kulemin over $4M a year when you can get a Kyle Brodziak for less than a million.
