Okay, that fits this year but what happens in summer 2020 when Vasilevskiy, Sergachev, Cernak, Cirelli, Joseph, and a backup goalie need new contracts. Not to mention raises to prospects Volkov, Stephens, and Colton. You get about 1.83M from Carle's buyout finishing but Callahan's buyout costs 1.57M. And then Bean and Foote need large raises the year after that.
Tampa is going to need every cap dollar they have. They are going to have to trade Callahan in a cap dump and give up a prospect/pick.
