Keeps a super top 8 Forwards and solid top 4 D and #1 G.
Counts on the youth to move up and compete for 4 regular forward spots and 1D spot.
Between Balcers, Suomela, Gambrell, Radil, Praplan, Norris, Chartier, Sorenson, Goodrow, chmelvski, chekhovich, halbgewachs, and others, its a fair bet that 1 or 2 will emerge as top 9 forwards.
same among middleton, Simek, Roy, Ferraro, Heed (UFA, but can be resigned), etc.
Still with Tavares, cooch, pavs down the middle, and at least Hertl, Meier, Lebanc, and Kane on the top 2 lines at wing, the sharks should be ale to weather slower development from their current youth.
Oh ya I guess the caps gonna raise another 2.3 mil for the sharks huh lol. It’s set at 79.5.
Also that 3rd lime even with pavs will struggle with brand new ahl graduates players anchoring it. Same for the 4th. Better get a lot of scoring from the first 2 lines cuz teams will begin to bully the 3rd and 4th line

This is for the 2019-20 year, so yeah the cap is likely to go up 2.5M or so, and its not clear how good the kids will be. Several will get a good look in '18-'19, so hopefully one or two emerges well for '19-'20, just like lebanc and meier emerged this year (and sorensen to a degree). I would love to see balcers and suomela emerge as NHL studs, and of course Gambrell.
