Lol, I got that part, but + what?
But to answer the money question, if we can LTIR Stuart, with the cap and other small dealings we should be able to afford 1 big contract, wether that's Radulov, Trouba, whoever. After that though, for every big contract we bring in another has to go. If we trade Duchene and Varly, we should be able to afford Radulov and Trouba and even another big contract.
Yeah we can basically do nothing besides adding a UFA RW, and signing Barrie and MacK.
If MacK ends up with a bridge deal we might be able to upgrade the bottom pairing.
This is do nothing, except Compher makes the team, and signing a UFA RW. You hit 73M with 8D and 13 forwards.
You might have to run with 7D to get under the cap. This is obviously with Stuart on LTIR. If they can't pull that off then we are not adding a damn thing except Compher and Rantanen.
That's also in the hope that the players use the 5% and we get to 73M as has been speculated.

Edit : I guess this is proof though that you can have 6 forwards making 5M or more, but unfortunately our 6th is more of a 4th liner/power play specialist. lol
