You should've named the article: "Unless Lombardi's Middle Name Is "Houdeano", 2013-14 LA Kings Will Look Different", hahahaha.

Solid article nonetheless.

That would only leave $842,273 in cap space to work with and I cannot see it playing out that way.

I also do not think that Clifford, Nolan, Muzzin, and Holloway are going to get the numbers you're projecting.

Clifford
Cap/Salary: $870,000 ($680,000 in salary)
Qualifying Offer: $714,000

Your number: $1,250,000 = 43.6% increase in cap hit

Nolan
Cap/Salary: $531,667 ($540,000 in salary)
Qualifying Offer = $577,500

Your number: $1,000,000 = 88.1% increase in cap hit

Muzzin
Cap/Salary: $577,500 ($577,500 in salary)
Qualifying Offer = $635,250

Your number: $1,250,000 = 116.5% increase in cap hit
