Thanks for posting this. It isn't so much cap hell, if those big names signings play up to their salaries. But as you show, Vegas has spent a lot of their money, and without much cap flexibility ....they are kinda going with group.

I think that the roster for 2019-20 will be dictated on how they fare this 2018-19 year ( playoffs or on the outside) although....., Mcphee has been pretty aggressive, and I think some moves will happen regardless of where they are in the standings now that I think about it. I don't like the Stasny signing in that he still has multiple years left and is not worth the money. Patches is off to a slow start, but other that that, things are still looking up. I am guessing Mcphee will move some defense (Merril, Holden, or Engelland) when it is all said and done. Oh, I don't think Erik Karlsson will be part of the picture.

If Stastny doesn’t pan out after he comes back from injury, I’d probably “Tatar him” and move him out for a different, better 2C in his spot for next season. This season we could probably get someone strictly as a rental who could split 2C time with Stas if we go to playoffs. In terms of the rest of the contracts, we should be fine as everyone else has said. Plus we need to make some space for Haula next season too because good knows how much McPhee wants to pay him lol.
