Roster is something like $7 to $9 million below the cap floor. That really is an interesting off-season challenge for the Coyotes. They need to offer to take on cap if someone will make it worth their while like Florida and Detroit did in the past.

I imagine Coyotes would send Boqvist/Bouchard back down for their D+1 season. AZ has quite a few D prospects at further stages of development (but with lower ceilings) in Joseph, Capobianco, Dineen, Mermis, and Westerlund. Re-signing Connauton as a 7D is a good possibility too, since his play has picked up in the 2nd half.

I don't think Max Domi pulls a contract like that. If he gets term, the AAV is lower. He might be best served taking a bridge deal.

MacInnis isn't ready for the NHL. But I think they'll re-sign Richardson to a reasonable deal. He made a comment about the trade deadline and didn't get traded, so I imagine he's coming back.
