I was just kind of realizing that Tufte and Robertson should arrive to Austin at the same time (assuming Tufte is in the NCAA for three years as we expect). When Seguin's contract, assuming he re-signs, kicks in they're aren't going to go spend big on wingers in the first two or so years. There could be an immediate spot for one of them on a scoring line. I doubt Dallas replaces Spezza, and I don't think anyone has a real firm grasp on the 2nd line LW right now.
You also have to think that within two years, the salaries for Faksa, Ritchie, Shore, and Jamark (health permitting) could potentially force one of them out. On top of that, new, bigger numbers to Lindell, Honka, and potentially Johns are going to start chocking the cap room a bit
Even a guy like Caamano could be seriously in that competition soon. Younger D like Bayreuther, Heatherington, and Hansson ... maybe even Nyberg ... could get shots as well because of the cap.
Dallas is getting set up pretty nicely for an ELC guys to contribute the very important year Seguin's new potential contract starts. As the cap gradually goes up, it'll just make it easier to accommodate that money, but early on, ELC's will be huge.
