I think there's a few things off here.
1) With the core of Tage, Cozens, Dahlin, Power and Saammy locked in for 7 or more years, we will have no cap issues.
2) With the exception of Mitts, the Sabres have the luxury of bridging these younger guys to smaller AAVs to fit under the cap.
3) I think you have got Mitts way too low. If he is a 70+ point player, look for him to sign a $7mm contract, if he's between 59-65, then it's probably $6.5mm
4) JJP, Quinn, Levi and Krebs can all sign those aforementioned bridges while we wait for the cap to rise more. I think they can all slot in around $2-3mm AAV on 2-3 year deals, if need be.
5) By 2025-26, I think we either trade/ buy out Skinner. He'll be 33 at that point and his $9mm is probably too high, given the amount of talented youth coming up that can easily replace him.
I like the forward-thinking here. I will make one of my own when I find the time.
Nice work!
