Ok. So for all of those in the sign Markstrom camp, start putting together you 21-22 roster and cap hits.
Put down numbers for Petey and Hughes (defend them if needed), then put down the others who have contracts running through that season. Boeser, Horvat, Miller, Myers, Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel, & Luongo etc. And give the number for Markstrom. These 7 guys & Lu With contracts will count Around $37.7 mill.
Add in Petey, Hughes, Markstrom is going to be over $20 million. So that will be $58 mill for 10 players. Leaving $23 mill or less for the remaining 13 skaters.
How many of the remaining 13 will make $1 mill?
Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lockwood, Lind, Rathbone? Juolevi would be bridged in the low $1 mill range. So that’s $6 mill for 6 more guys. $64 mill on 16 skaters. 7 left for $17 mill.
Gaudette, Motte, Virtanen, MacEwen, and 3 Dmen needed.
Doing this exercise really opens up the eyes about how little cap space they actually have cause they still have $15 mill tied up in Lu, Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel for that season.
