Description

READ DESCRIPTION

Cap is set at 87,500,000mil, but SJ has 8,524,167mil in dead cap (buyouts, retentions, etc.), so I added that to make up for it already being automatically on the roster.

All contracts are taken from Daily Faceoff's Top-50 contract projections (link below) -- EXCEPT for Reinhart, who I have signing a 7yr x 9.6mil aav deal instead of a 10.2mil aav, along with guys like Reilly and Janmark didn't make the Top-50 so I estimated on them.
