No, just the names I mentioned before. Payroll should be 68-72 mill around there, give or take just a little.

Wow, a 2 to 4 million dollar increase from last year! Sabres were at 66 last year per cap friendly

Well then they don't expect to add much other the a couple extensions

They ended the 22-23 season at $65.4M.

They are already at $66.5M for the upcoming 23-24 season, but they have 21 out of 23 contracts accounted for on the roster.

CapFriendly already rolled over to the 23-24 cap on their site.

Not necessarily true, as they could clear out $6.6M in combined cap space between Jokiharju and Bryson if they offloaded both.

That would open up possibilities.

This past season I was told 64-66 mill would be the highest, now it's not much more. You know how they like that 10 mill cushion stuff

They have assets to move, all these young players won't make the roster. IMO Laurent Brossoit would be a nice mentor for Levi.

Actually moving them is another story, they both should be gone.

Moving out Olofsson and Bryson for higher quality replacements would go a long way, and still possibly keep them at the range you mentioned.

Easier said then done moving those two.

If we don't like them, chances are the rest of the league agrees.

Olofsson for Tanev would be fine by me, maybe add a couple years to his contract if we get him.

The Bruins are in a really rough spot cap wise.

Recency bias, sure, but Tanev and Barbashev would be quality additions to the roster.

Tage, Skinner, Tuch
Cozens, Barbashev, Quinn
Mittelstadt, Greenway, Peterka
Krebs, Rousek, Okposo

Dahlin, Tanev
Power, Samuelsson
Jokiharju, Lyubushkin, Stillman

Dahlin takes a haircut to stay in town $5.2M?

I cant see the adding a forward especially at his projected number with kulich and rosen on deck

The only way I could possibly see it happening is if they moved on from Mittelstadt by next offseason.

That $4.5M in rollover bonus overages isn't helping them.

Love to see it!

Grzelcyk (I cant spell it) could be a sneaky good add.

Don't think you would have to twist my arm to much with those moves. Just have reservations on what Adams actually does. He has built his own escape plan with the way he set up contracts, he could run most of it back for another year.

That actually sort of makes sense. Power and Dahlins extensions don’t kick in until the following year. (Assuming they do extend this summer)
