Correct. As is the 7th Dman, but there was plenty of cap room from the other lines to make up for it. Byron, Nieto, Connolly, Kinkaid and Pacquette are all ufas, so I would likely replace them with younger and/or cheaper players in order to re-sign Ekman-Larsson, Simmonds, Dzingel and Schmidt.

Actually, now that I had some time to think, I decided to make some changes. I swapped out Glendenning for Laughton and Matt Irwin for Chris Wideman. I think the former is an upgrade and the latter stays within the budget.
