Plus you're one player short and you're using six players making less than a million. Now that Dubas has acquired Muzzin, you can say goodbye to Gardiner an probably one of Kadri(God forbid)/Zaitsev and one of Hyman/Brown, or else Nylander. I have trouble constructing any roster with all of the forwards that doesn't feature a defense of Rielly, Muzzin and four youths.

Kadri has one of the best contracts in the NHL, he's not going anywhere. And it's not a necessity to have a 23 man roster and if they're right against the cap they wouldn't carry 23. But yeah I'm hoping Zaistev and Brown can be traded and Hyman if they have too.
