23/24 contracts
Stützle
Pinto
JBD
Gustavsson
8/3/1 signed, so you need
4 forwards (Stützle & Pinto plus 2 more)
3 defencemen (JBD + 2 more)
1 goalie (Gustavsson)
$60.4MM committed to 12 players, $21.1 in cap space
Stützle - $9.5MM (Low estimate)
Pinto - $6.5MM (Your Norris Contract, might be higher as he might pass Norris on depth chart)
JBD - $2.5MM (Zub contract)
Gustavsson - $3.5MM (Jarry contract)
That's $22MM, and still need 4 more players, plus 2 or 3 healthy scratches. 23/24 league minimum salary will be $775,000, so 6 players require $4.65MM
$60.4MM
$22MM
$4.65MM
---------------
$87MM
Or about $5.5MM over the current cap, which will go up, but not by that much.
That's with 6 league minimum salary players, with 4 dressing every game. Prospects will increase that number because most make more than league minimum.
Then in 24/25, here are the RFA's
Sanderson ($10MM+?)
Kravtsov
Greig ($4MM bridge?)
With only $13MM free cap space (all league minimums are replaced with more league minimums)
This is why people keep saying, stay the course, there isn't as much cap space as people think. Signing or trading for one UFA might be okay, but not four.
As for Weegar, he's a 1st pair D, not 3rd pair, your offer isn't enough.
