What are we at salary cap wise now? I searched but couldn't find it.

Yeah, I'd guess somewhere between $5.5M and $6M after the Connolly and Hayes contracts. I'd like to see more salary moved (Kelly?) in addition to signing a solid minutes eater on D.we should have about 5 million to spend on or acquire a top 4 D after we resign Hayes and Connolly
I'm guess 1 yr 1.2 Million for Connolly
2 years 4 million for Hayes
I doubt the Bruins go through the season with a 20 man roster.DJ Bean and generalfanager both have us at 8.9M for the 20 man roster. This includes unsigned Connelly and Hayes.
Here are 3 good cap links:

We still need a backup goalie probably, a depth forward, a #1/2 D-man, and to sign Connolly and Hayes. We can afford all but the #1/2 D-man... unless we move Kelly and get cap creative.

We have plenty of depth forwards. In a perfect world we'd pick up an elite sniper AND a top Dman, Semin still out there, may sign cheap for 1 year to re-build his reputation.
So ~11.3m in space if we trade Kelly? I assume Connolly is going to get near the same contract as Spooner did, he only has 5 more points than Spooner does in nearly 100 more games played... We'll call that 1m, 2 years. I also assume Hayes will get a bridge deal, he had a 19 goal season last year, 2m per year for 2 years? Maybe 2.5.
So we'll say 7.8m after all of that is done... Signing Semin to a 1 year contract worth 3m would be worth the risk, if there is any. Is 4.8m enough to get Ehrhoff for one year? Maybe...
Eriksson-Krecji-Semin
Marchand-Bergeron-Connolly
Hayes-Spooner-Pastrnak
Rinaldo-Kemppainen-Talbot
Ferlin
Chara-Trotman
Seidenberg-Ehrhoff
Krug-McQuaid
Miller/Morrow
Just spitballing... Claude would probably vomit if we got Semin.
It sounds like we're not done. Expect to see a defenseman added. Definitely have some room to work with here. #DealerDonnie
I've must have asked this question 50 times. Is it possible to move Lucic's remaining salary? Dom alert.
