The exact space is 16.64M assuming Bailey, Rathbone, and Hunt are all sent down to Utica. You may believe that neither is worth 10M but that doesn't stop an OS from being 10M. I doubt both players sign the same amount of term but if you want either locked up long term it will cost more. They can likely fit both players but they are going to have trouble matching a 10M OS to EP40 as I don't see Hughes getting less than 7 after the defenseman deals signed this summer17m and I don t think either of them is worth 10m. As a VAN fan I believe Hughes‘ contract should be above Girard s, in line with Krug, something like 6.5 max, and this is generous considering the fact Krug was a UFA.
Anything else on top of that may very well be a bad signing, esp. Given the fact that Boeser Horvat are due a raise in the two next years.
