Wow, just wow. The Coyotes have to spend over $16 million just to get to the salary floor. That could go up to $18 if the cap goes up to $71 million. The Coyotes could do anything this off-season.
Max Domi and Anthony Duclair will join the team next season. Arizona remains a budget team so more than a few of the UFAs may not return. Erat has probably seen the last of his days in the NHL.
Next: Edmonton Oilers
