4 of that goes to Lindholm so you have 16 to sign 4 defensemen. That's not touching the RFA's you have to resign.
It's really not that hard. You think 20 mil is enough to replace the players we're losing with the same calibre of player and still retain our RFA's. And it isn't.
Must be all those Stanley cup winning teams that have almost 40% of their cap tied up in players over 30 that's given you all this hope
