I don't think you can cheap out on both the goalies like that, Woll is still questionable fitness wise so I think you need a decent #2G like Talbot or Brossoit to pair with him so that's 2-3M
You also need to carry a couple of extra bodies as spares as well imo so there's another couple of Million
I like the Wennberg idea but I'd be looking to go UFA for one defenseman and look trade for another, I'd be calling on Provorov, Chychrun types
thing is teams are rarely healthy through out the season so soon as someone gets hurt you then have the cap space for those extra bodies, and probably someone in camp even gets hurt where you could have a couple vets on league min salary both on forward and Defense. again would prefer to put the best 20 guys on the ice and today players are not really taken in and out unless an injury occurs so don't see the point to carrying 21-22 guys. but you could always move McCabe to a top 4 role and trade Liljegren and find a decent bottom pair guy for league min and save 2 million there on my numbers. so there are other options.
I believe in Woll as a goalie in terms of him being good I get the health concerns but he's played well the last two years minus coming back from injury for a few games which is not a surprise on a ankle sprain plus only getting 4 games in a month or w/e it was. but this is why I sign two veteran's because at some point in the year both guys will probably play well similar to Jones this year. so you can have the better guy up and this also gives you an opportunity to give Hildeby a couple of games even if neither goalie gets hurt.
in my Scenario if you trade for Provorov as an example and Sign Skjei to 7 million thats 11.75 million. maybe Skjei will get more I don't know. but it would leave you with 10 million to fill out the remaining 5 spots on the 20 man roster.
Edit: I will also say that if we had to go cheaper on the center in order to afford the two top 4 guys I would prefer that aswell.
