$76,633,691 - $83,500,000

Samberg = $2,333,333 x 3
Rittich = $1,850,000 x 2
Stenlund = $950,000 x 2 (+$162,500 on QO, buying a year of UFA)
Barron = $900,000 x 2 (+$25,875 on QO)
= $832,976 Cap Space

We have yet to see what happens in the 2023 Summer, but since the media and others wants to constantly talk about how the 2024 Summer is gonna be the end of the world for the Jet's. I'll make a further projection.

= $42,940,579 with 10 Signed. Adding projected signings makes it $48,973,912 with 14 Signed.

2023-24 was reported to possibly raise $4.0M+, so I use that projection for 2024-25. +$4M cap on top of 83.5M(2023-24) makes it $87.5M.(Possibly $88M ?)
$87,500,000 - $48,973,912 = $38,526,088

Hellebuyck = $9,250,000 x 4 -> $3,700,000 x 3
Scheifele = $7,857,143 x 7 (With PB)
Perfetti = $859,167 x 1 (Just a year, will be 22 and can get paid later)
DeMelo = $4,400,000 x 7
Dillon = $8,800,000 x 1 (Pionk or Dillon could free up $ or sign less to pay Ehlers. That's why you offer Dillon Premium OIl for 1 year)
Niederreiter = $4,285,714 x 7 (Not that Expensive, especially with Cap raises. Could trade later in Summer 26 for $ for Connor and get good value.)
Heinola = $874,125 x 1 (QO)
Gustafsson = $867,500 x 1 (Same cap as Torgersson)
Capobianco = $850,000 x 1
= $38,526,088 - $38,043,649
= $482,439 Cap left. (OR $982,439 with $4.5M raise ??)

I'd have stuff to say but I've used up my 2 cents to make this make sense. #TrueNorth #FuelledByPassion #WeAreWPG <3
