Ultimately there will be legal circumvention and clever cap management that will get most of the teams under the cap with their RFAs signed.
Please look at the Blackhawks current contract situation and explain what sort of legal circumvention they can do to sign their RFAs/fill out a roster without shedding significant cap space by the way of trading good players? This isn't the NFL where you can move money around on a contract. Cap hits are pretty darn straightforward and you can't rework them once a deal is inked.
