So ~65.7M spent of the 83M cap, with 4 forward spots to fill basically. I'm optimistic at least 2 of them get filled by young guys. Frost (.894), Aube-Kubel (.715), Vorobyov (.784), Rubtsov (.894), Farabee (unsigned as a college guy, but .900 I expect) would be options.
So you probably have ~15-16M to spend on free agents. And buying out AMac is a legit possibility this summer if they want to. If they do, 1.2M against the cap for 19-20 and 1.9M against the cap for 20-21, instead of 5M in 19-20. So a total of 18-19M to spend.
Panarin, Duchene, Pavelski, Skinner, Zuccarello, Hayes, Nyquist, Dzingel, Lee, Ferland, Johansson, Eberle, and Silfverberg are all slated to be UFA's this summer up front. One or two of those guys make a serious improvement to the forward corp.
Karlsson, Gardiner, Stralman, T. Myers, are available on defense as well; if you determine you need to upgrade there. I don't expect Karlsson or Gardiner to get to UFA, but Stralman and Myers would be legit upgrades and could be available.
