Despite signing two defenseman yesterday, the math and the timeline for the Bolts to fix their salary cap situation hasn’t moved. They still need to clear a bunch of cap space ($6.1 million now, closer to $11 million after Anthony Cirelli signs) and do it before the start of the season. None of that has changed, we just a better idea of the actual numbers.
