Based on the numbers from CapFriendly (Link), the Canes have $41.993 mil in real salary payroll commitments for next season. For reference, Carolina entered this season with a payroll of ~$55 mil. With a static budget, the Canes would have a little over $13 mil available as it stands at this moment.

1) 7 prospects make the jump in 1 off-season is pretty unrealistic.
2) I'm pretty sure that line-up doesn't come close to the cap minimum.
3) We would be by far the lowest paid, youngest team in the NHL with only 1 starter older than 25 (Staal)
Sound like a recipe for worst record in the NHL.

A couple random thoughts...
– I think the Canes avoid going the long-term second contract route with TT. The team needs more time to figure if he’s going to be the streaky 2nd/3rd line depth scorer he’s been in 16-17 or the more consistent Top 6 forward he has the potential to be. Lindholm’s bridge would serve as an appropriate comparable for the short-term route ($5.4 mil over 2 years.)
– As far as the 40/70 defenseman goes, I prefer Dahlbeck to Tennyson. I’d like to see GMRF pursue a legit, NHL caliber 5-6 to play opposite a Fleury or Carrick on the bottom pair next season. Let Dahlbeck be the 7, filling in when necessary.

We need a goal tender. A top 6 forward would be very nice as well, but if the goal tending doesn't improve, I think we're sitting outside the playoffs again next season.

But really that is a LOT of money to play with. But I guess next year and the following year will be when the bulk of our talent needs another contract so we can't go crazy

Zero research:
Bring back estaalo
trade a bag of potato chips for fleury
turbo bridge deal
pdg 7 years at 1.78 million per season
acquire one of kane, landeskog, hagelin, or any other winger
create main board thread mocking whichever team gives derek ryan a 1 way deal
go to team trivia every Thursday and crush the fighting mongooses

I didn't say it was realistic. But it would be interesting, in a sink-or-swim, lets see what we really got kinda way.
Not that I know, but I totally agree BBA. I cannot imagine a Bill Peters' coached team with more than two or three 1st year NHL'ers, tops. I think Ron Francis's mentality of "over-ripening" plays into it too. Part of the reason Aho seems like an exception to this rule is that he got that extra season, playing professionally, with men in Finland. To me, that's one of the reason's that Saarela may break out of this mold too.
My personal opinion is that the two or three odds on favorites to make the jump are Fleury, Zykov, and Wallmark (and probably only one of those two).
From a production perspective TT is about right where I thought he'd be. I also think he has more to give. That said, I cannot imagine a bridge deal (likely 2 years) that would exceed Lindy's, even though at one time I thought that would be the case.
Hopefully we'll get both.
Since returning to his natural side, Dahlbeck has been better. There was a stretch earlier in the year when Tennyson was a pretty serviceable #6, but that seems to have disappeared.

I think it would be better to leave these guys in the AHL getting 15-20 min / night, PP time, etc..(I think I read Gauthier can go to the AHL next year) than giving them 8 minutes a night on the 4th line. I also think that realistically, MacK won't be moved (regardless of that news article) and in the off chance he is, it will cost more.

Yeah, I saw that but to make it easy just did a cut and paste into the table and didn't go beyond that since that amount has such a negligible impact overall.

IMO, getting 4th line minutes at this stage of their development is not ideal no matter who they are with. If they make the top 9 and are getting top 9 getting meaningful minutes, that's fine. If not, have them in the AHL getting meaningful minutes and continuing their development.

Say the likelihood we don't land MacK.
Then One or the other will be getting 3rd line minutes.
I'd give Gauthier 9 games on Jordan's wing at least.

Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with one of them getting 3rd line minutes (if they make it), only your post having both of them on the 4th line.
My my understanding is Gauthier is eligible for AHL next year? (maybe I'm wrong?), so does 9 games doesn't really matter? Doesn't his contract start if he goes to the AHL regardless of number of games? Maybe not, as I'm not sure how all that works.
Anyhow, if they show they deserve to be in the NHL in a top 9 role, that's fine, otherwise, get them meaningful minutes in the AHL to continue their development. Rushing them, having them in and out of the line-up, or getting low minutes on the 4th line isn't what I'd like to see.

I honestly would be surprised if Gauthier cracks the lineup next season. I'm just stat looking, he put up more assists this season, but his goal scoring really fell off.
2 years ago he potted 38
Last year he potted 41
This season only 17
That's a bit concerning in his development in my mind. I do think with his frame being like an NHL player already that he could use time to develop in the AHL vs spending time in juniors next season.
