Holy depth overpayment! Rule of Thumb: Never give term to depth, and Never, ever, ever give money AND term to depth.
Don't give Borg more than 1 year, and 925k (ish) will be his salary. I like the Johnsson contract. Kapanen is the only depth player I would give any term, and if you are going to be paying him 3.5, he better be getting 4-5 years. That Leivo contract is more than double what he should be getting for way, way too long. Oz has been good, but not that good, like give him half that for 1 or 2 years. If Matthews is getting 5 years, the cap hit goes way down to like 8 million due to not buying UFA years. Don't give backups that kind of term and money, 1-2 years at 800k for Sparks.
Also, Nylander will not be traded for magic beans like you have here. It will be a player(s).
