I dislike the nucks but this would be great

Until they have to sign pettersson and hughes.......

They have like 20mil the next season they’ll be fine

that will sign pettersson and hughes only... so where is the money to re-sign Demko? and where is the money to sign a back up? you only have 1 goalie showing on the roster. and also how do you afford to replace the 3 other forwards and 2 other D that are expiring?

petty had 66 points in 68 games unless he gets over 100 this season no reason he should get over 8 mil and hughes will get a no more than 7 mil leaving 5 mil and you can always buyout the last year of eriksson

Makes no sense. Even by your very low estimates that's 20 million committed to those three players. Plus Pietrangelo for another 9?

42 million already for 2021-22. That leaves 10 million in cap space to sign 5 more forwards, 3 defensemen and 1 backup goalie. Even if you buy out Loui on his last year that's only 2 million in savings. Then tack on another one million the following year.
