Interesting, but the issue then becomes resigning key contracts next year. Petey, Hronek, DeSmith, Blueger, Lafferty, Bear and Cole free up 22.1 million plus an approx 4m in cap increase = 26million.
Resign Petey at 11mil and Hronek at 7mil (18 total) gives 8mil to find a Backup Goalie, Top 4 LHD, Top 4 RHD, and two 4th liners. Definitely an option to call up players like Aman, Hirose, McWard, Silovs.. etc. But you can't tell me that will provide better depth than the team has this year.
*Edit*
Not to mention OEL buyout increases to 2.3m next season
