Why are you targeting Laine? That'll never happen. The way Laine is playing now they'll get him at much less than TOR paid Matthews. That or they bridge him (WPG won't want to do this) at a significantly lower cost. Losing the Kulikov contract (4.3MM) is the start. Tyler Myers is a UFA so his 5.5MM will be off the books too. That's 8.3MM gone. There's many more questions to sort out in the off season: Is Trouba sticking around? If not, what's the return there? Can WPG find someone to take Little? Would WPG trade a winger like Connor? They probably don't want to but IF they did they'd get a good haul for him as well. It's a cap management issue that they would definitely have to sort out but it's not impossible. Stone is the kind of player you do what is necessary to make it work. He leads the NHL in GAR.
