They have other guys locked up and do have cap space plus what the cap increases to. That being said they're a deep team and I would potentially let one of them walk.
If this article is right they'd have $9M left to pay 12 players. That's not going to cut it. If they want that type of cap-killing money, i'd trade 1 of them. They'd get a huge return. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nhl/stor...awks-reportedly-seeking-12-million-per-season
