Stanley Cup Champions

you better win this year, because your cap is F 'ed next year.

It'll be tight like most teams, but they'll be fine. ~8 million coming off the books with Laughton, Raffl, Gus, and Elliott leaving plus whoever Seattle takes. That'll be enough to resign Hart, Sanheim, and Patrick while filling the other holes with ELCs.

it's the depth that leaves that kills teams.

Only Hart, Sanheim and Patrick to re-sign with almost 13 mil coming off books, without expansion or trade of JVR or Ghost, Philly is fine cap wise

Their forward corps is so deep

I'd be willing to guess one of JVR, Voracek, or Ghost will be taken by Seattle. They're not in as much cap trouble as you think. Voracek and JVR are still good players and put up 20 goals almost every year. With retention they can be moved fairly easily. Ghost is one I'd be more concerned about moving.
