Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Jason Dickinson (2 Years / $4,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Godzilla318</b></div><div>They can and probably will still take cap dumps for picks. Mrazek, Johnson, Beauvillier, and Zaitsev contracts are coming off the books at the end of the season (among a few others), but these are the four big ones which is about 17.45 mil between the four contracts. Still a lot of cap to work with</div></div>

Not to mention the $8M in dead cap in recapture penalties and buyouts coming off the books. So that's $25.5M essentially of salary that needs to be filled from just those guys.

They've used up $8.75M now with Foligno and Dickinson. Vlasic and Reichel need new contracts (maybe will cost a total of $6M/yearly). So that's $9Mish left to meet the floor. Taylor Raddysh's contract will be intriguing to me. Is he a 20 goal scorer or was that a fluke because he was playing with Toews/Kane and PP1? I vote the latter.
