As of right now, for the 2023-24 season the VGK have 39 sighed to NHL contracts, plus one slideable contract. (Max is 50). They have seven pending UFAs (on NHL roster) plus seven pending RFAs.
Cap Friendly thinks they'll have a NHL roster of 20 with a cap hit of $80m. That's $3.5m under the cap (they could choose to spend on depth for NHL roster).
11 F currently on NHL roster signed for next season. (Plus two RFAs, a third who spent most of the season on the IR, and three UFAs.) Nine (one slidable) plus one RFA and one UFA on AHL/minor league roster.
8 D currently on NHL roster signed for next season. (Plus one RFA.) Seven plus one RFA on AHL roster.
1 G currently on NHL roster signed for next season; plus one on LTIR. (Plus 3 UFAs) Three plus one RFA on AHL roster.

Are there younger/cheaper options they might replace their pending RFAs, UFAs with?
Might some of these players have/had key playoff/RS contributions that you don't want to lose them?
Might some of the guys who were on AHL deals last season be worth a NHL deal?
Will they let all their UFAs walk?
If not, who might be traded to open up cap space to re-sign a UFA?
Are any of the RFAs who are arbitration eligible (with asterisk in above list) in a situation (great performance) to make it really hard to negotiate/arbitrate a deal so the team might let them walk?
McCrimmon and AHL GM Speltz have some work to do. Probably 12-15 guys (re-)signed to fill the NHL and AHL rosters.
