Right now the Caps have 19 players under contract:
2 Goalies
7 Defensemen
10 Forwards
The caps space that is left is just over 8 million.
If we assume that Flash goes to arbitration and gets around 3 million, which is a joke but the likely outcome, that leaves one hole on the forward lines with 5 million to spend. That hole will likely be filled by a second line veteran type player (even if he does not play on the second line) at a cap hit around 1.5 mil)
This leaves us 3.5 million to work with, more if we can shop Nylander out again to Finland or Chechnya or fucking Iraq for all I care....
At the deadline, that equates to around 15million.
Alzner, Varlamov and Neuvirth are all RFAs after this season
Knuble, Semin, Laich, Gordon, Bradley, Poti and Erskine are all UFAs
The guys in bold are priorities, in my opinion, to get an extension before the season ends....
