Don't forget overages for next season:
Sharp - 200,000 (already hit his bonus)
DeBrincat - 182,500 (likely to hit, just need to play in 68 games)
Schmaltz - (up to 650,000 for Schedule A bonuses)
Rutta - (up to 425,000 for Schedule A bonuses)
Schmaltz and Rutta will likely get some, and possibly all of their bonuses. Therefore, overages could be anywhere 807,000 and upward. We also (yes, he could walk) need to assume the Hawks will sign Dylan Sikura after this season at Northeastern. It would be a 2-year deal where the first year is burned this season (like Hayden's last season), and he would likely need to be convinced he'll get a top-2 line player.
