Probably not a lot of earth shattering moves based on the assumption Canes win the Cup

Things to consider:
Sadly, I think Staal retires if Canes win the cup, so need to replace him.
Anderson must have played well if Canes win the cup, so probably keep him and Pyotr gets a lot more time so he can develop into the #1
Lots of FAs in 24-25, but not going to fall into the trap of extending everyone after a cup run when their value is at their highest. Only going to get long term contracts for
- Aho $9m x 5year
- Jarvis $3m x 4 years
- Pesce $5m x 4 years

Skjei is going to be hard to sign long-term for a reasonable amount, likely will get big money as a #1 or #2 D man somewhere else. Morrow and Nikishin should be ready to come in around that time. Won't be as good as Skjei right away, but will help lessen that loss.

So based on extensions, reduce available cap by $4m
