I'd disagree with that. If you add Karlsson ($11.5) and Ryan ($7.25), less Risto ($5.4m), you're adding about $13.4m in cap for next year. Moulson and Pominville coming off the books provides you $10.6m of that money right there. Bogosian comes off another year after that. I know you're probably apprehensive about the Dahlin extension, but we can keep him, too. I'll cross the bridge of what to do with Sam and Mitts when we come to it. In the words of Marlo Stanfield, that sounds like one of them good problems.
I just don't see how you can be given an opportunity to have the best offensive defenseman of our generation and pass on that opportunity. You make it work. A core of Karlsson, Eichel, and Dahlin puts Buffalo in the conversation with Tampa and Toronto for the foreseeable future.
Buffalo needs that cap for Dahlin and Mittelstadt and Reinhart. Sorry but no.
