Some general notes regarding other teams and the new salary cap:

The Pittsburgh #Penguins are the only team currently sitting above the newly announced $73M cap ceiling, with a project cap of $74,483,332.

So the #Blackhawks have about $7 million in cap space for six or seven players. And Shaw is likely to gobble up around $3 million a season.
