Where's the money for Larkin and Bertuzzi?
I suspect Larkin gets 8.5 AAV, and Bertuzzi may get traded if he asks for the same. You clear cap space by letting Suter, Maata, and Sundqvist go, and that leaves holes that will need cheap fill ins. Seider will be due a 9- 10 million raise the year after, Raymond will get a hefty bump, and so will Vrana if he keeps playing like he has and stays healthy. Between those 3, its another 25 million.
This is doable, but there is zero flexibility on the roster, and if everything goes right, like Kubalik has a resurgent season or 2, Veleno takes a step, or Rasmussen, there will be no way to pay. I feel like hometown discounts are becoming a thing of the past.
