exactly, they are cap loaded for the foreseeable future. got huet in a 5mil deal. over 45 million committed already over the next 2 years. they could lose role players like eager and ladd. obviously they are going to want to sign niemi to a decent deal. and after next year have more key signings with guys like seabrook and byfuglien. part of the reason they had the team they do this year is because kane, keith and toews are making 12 million less this year than next year.
