Rough draft for next off-season

It's not likely that the team rolls into the year with over 12 million in cap space, but this is meant as a more conservative estimate. Tried to ballpark Bjorkstrand and Texier's deals based on expectation this season, but there's a TON of variance on how they could end up. It's fairly likely the team could look to bring back Savard, at least if it's on a 1 year deal, but it seems unlikely that he would go for that. The big picture here is to get a general idea of how much the team will have to work with in 2022 to sign PLD, Jones, Werenski, Korpi, and Elvis. It's more likely than not that a goalie walks and it's entirely possible that Jones does as well, but it looks like the team would have somewhere in the ballpark of 12-16 mil to extend that group (assuming no increase in the cap).

VERY rough estimates for AAV on these players (obviously hard to predict based on 2 future years of performance plus potential contract length)

PLD - 8-9 mil
Jones - 9-10 mil
Werenski - 7.5-9 mil
Korpi - 4-5 mil
Elvis - 6-7 mil

None of this is to be taken too serious. Like stated above, just a really rough draft trying to map out potential resigning thr next 2 years.
