By keeping Ryan, we're gonna lose 7.5M of other players though. So it's not like there's no return on dumping that contract.
We're at about 58M with 19 skaters signed. Mark Stone should get at least 6M next year, so that alone takes us up to 64. Ceci probably up to 68. I say 6M to be ultra conservative and prove the point that if our budget is in a similar range to the last few seasons, we're already tapped out.
If we end up trading Karlsson, Hoffman, and a few others without getting back NHLers, then that obviously changes things.
Is that a real salary figure? I thought we were at ~60.5 with MacArthur (19 contracts) and ~55.7 without him (18 contracts) in terms of cap hit. Real salary would be about 59mil, not including MacArthur (and all previous figures include Phaneuf retention).
That's my math, anyways.
