Ottawa has 6.8 mil in cap space, + 2 mil that Hoffman currently makes. 7.3 puts them tight to the cap with Ceci, Wideman to sign that year, and Zibanejad the very next.
You're right that we likely match, but we certainly don't want to pay him that much.
They have 50.357m committed to 15 players next year (9F, 4D, 2G):
Lazar, Stone, Ryan, Smith, Michalek, MacArthur, Hammond, Anderson, Borowiecki, Cowen, Methot, Karlsson, Pageau, Zibanejad, and Turris.
Assuming the CAP stays at 71.4:
The Sens have just over 21m to allocate towards Hoffman, Ceci, Chiasson, Wiercioch, Prince, Puempel, Paul, Wideman.
They are fine.
