If they’re going to add salary, those are the players that would have to be moved to make room. Everyone else is either too valuable or makes too little money.

I think they have around 10 mil left and half their 6 is either vacant or in need of an upgrade.

Per puckpedia. Yes after McCarron signing they have 9.4mil left with some guys also counted against this who could be waived to make some room and some ways to bury some money still. This is with 1.6million still allocated to Suter and Parise, which is fun

Under contract as currently stands
KK-Hartman-Empty
Boldy-Ek-Empty
Trenin-Yurov-Foligno
Sturm-McCarron-Empty

Other contracted Fs: Haight, Pitlick, Stramel, Lorenz, Heidt, Kumpulainen

Would assume Zuccy comes back on a low tier deal to make one more go at it. maybe N Foligno comes back on a very minimal deal to play with his brother as a bottom 6/healthy scratch guy. But yeah as it sits, they're going to need some kindness to have room to add any impact top 6 guy

Faber-Hughes
Brodin-Spurgeon
Middleton-insert whatever of the young guys you want

The D is overall set unless they want to move salary as you allude to. If standing pat, they have room to try target a top 6 wing, but they'd need the above guys to take deals to do so first.

This coupled with a market that's going to have PLENTY of cash to splash with the cap increase and BG has his work cut out for him, especially as he needs to slice out a deal for Hughes AND sell him on a vision that would want to keep him here long-term unless he's just selling out for this year

My message was supposed to say “half their top 6” as given all the talk about adding another top 6 C, I put Hartman in the bottom 6.

However, I suppose a more accurate statement would be half their top 6 is either vacant or in need of an upgrade if they are going to contend.
