from Jonathan Bombulie of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Revies,
The Penguins are one of at least 10 teams that might be pushed over the cap after signing all their remaining RFAs. The handful of teams with extra cap space could sit back and take their pick of suddenly available players over the next 10 weeks or so.
Here’s a quick look at teams who are still battling cap issues into late July.
• The Toronto Maple Leafs might be able to fit Mitch Marner’s eight-figure salary under their cap now that they’ve moved Nazem Kadri to Colorado, but they might not.
• The Tampa Bay Lightning traded away J.T. Miller to make some room, but the big contract Brayden Point is about to command will stretch the limits of their cap.
• Adding Miller and suffering a cap penalty when Roberto Luongo retired left the Vancouver Canucks in a tight situation once they re-sign Brock Boeser.
• The bill is starting to come due for the talented young defense corps the Boston Bruins have assembled. Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo need new contracts.
