We have what, 11mil to spend. If we signed Dumo and Sheary for 7, that leaves us with 4mil. If we were after someone costing 6 mil, Maatta would almost certainly be part of it. The difference is 2 mil more to our cap, thus leaving us with about 2 mil remaining for Cullen and a Maatta replacement. If we are going to replace Maatta in the short term with a top 4 guy (just using Markov as he is still out there) we will have to move another contract. Hagelin or Hornqvist would likely be casualties in that case. The other option would be to sign a cheap D or roll with what we have and evaluate then possibly make a move during the season or at the deadline for a D.
