from Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times,

With 23 men on the roster (that includes Joakim Nordstrom or Teuvo Teravainen), the Hawks are about $2.2 million above the salary cap of $69 million. Even if they broke camp with 22 players, they still would be above the cap. So between the time the puck drops for the first practice Friday in South Bend and the time the puck drops for the regular-season opener Oct. 9 in Dallas, general manager Stan Bowman has to make a move. There are plenty of possibilities.

Defenseman Johnny Oduya has one year and $3.375 million left on his contract, so he makes the most sense from a strictly financial standpoint. But he and Niklas Hjalmarsson make up the Hawks’ top defensive tandem, charged with stopping the opponents’ best players. That allows Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook to be more offensive-minded. And any deal might hinge on how healthy Oduya looks in the preseason after suffering a broken foot in Game 7 of the Western Conference final.

Defenseman Nick Leddy, who makes $2.7 million and will be a restricted free agent next summer, is a 24-year-old puck-mover and power-play quarterback and might fetch a nice prospect or two. He has lost coach Joel Quenneville’s trust in two consecutive postseasons, but Bowman and the organization remain high on thim. If Bowman can find a taker for 36-year-old Michal Rozsival instead, he likely would jump at it.

I don't expect many moves early in training camp. There is always the possibility a player gets injured, maybe placed on LTIR which would give a team some cap relief for a period of time.
