D'Amigo, Holland, McClement, Bodie, Gardiner I took guesses for what I think they'll make.
-1 top 6 forward spot to fill (Bolland holds the key here. I'm calling him a top 6 because he'd be in our top 6 TOI even if he centers the 3rd line)
-1 3rd line forward spot to fill (could be taken by a youngster at a cheap price but I'd like to see us try for a cheap vet like a Morrow, Raymond, Penner no risk 1 year deal)
-23rd man (team can always roll with a 22 man roster on this spot would be taken by a player under a million)
1 #4/5 Dman spot to fill (2 to 3.5 range on a short term deal for a guy like Salo, Mitchell, Robidas, Stralman, Hainsey)
1 back up goalie spot to fill (could be as cheap as league minimum up to around 2 million)
=Roughly 12 million to accomplish this
I don't think we're screwed with the cap for next off-season but we just won't see any big addition names addition unless you want to count Bolland as a big addition.
Bolland truly holds the key to what happens with our entire off-season. If Bolland is signed we don't have much flexibility cap wise but then we've got decent depth down the middle. I honestly wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Bolland was signed if Kadri was dealt shortly after and Holland given a chance to play his minutes.
