Predictions: Penguins 2014-15

So I need to actually sleep tonight. Instead I'm going to lay out my backseat driving for the GM.

KEEP:
Crosby
Kunitz
Dupuis
Malkin
Neal
Bennett
Letang
Bortuzzo
Maatta
Zatkoff

RESIGN:
Jokinen
Megna
Gibbons
Niskanen
Despres
Vokoun

SIGN:
Carcillo
Miller
Subban

TRADE:
Fleury for Kesler
Adams, Dumoulin, Ebbett for Abdelkader

BUYOUT:
Martin

It plays out like this (with my estimates for a fair cap hit):

Current Roster (being kept) Salary: $41,044,167
Jokinen: $3,000,000
Megna: $850,000
Gibbons: $700,000
Niskanen: $2,500,000
Despres: $900,000
Vokoun: $1,750,000
Carcillo: $875,000
Miller: $7,500,000
Subban: $3,500,000
Kesler: $5,000,000
Abdelkader: $1,800,000

TOTAL SALARY: $69,419,167

It's a tight fit, but I think with the right negotiations, it could actually work. :)
