To reach cap floor - $54.2 million - these five teams are going to have to sign some players fast. With the pool of free agents shallow, some teams are going to have trouble reaching the floor.

Dallas Stars
Amount Under - $1,086,389
Will They Get There? - The Stars will get there easily because Jamie Benn is looking for a new contract. Benn had a breakout season and is looking for a contract in the range of $5-6 million per year.

Ottawa Senators
Amount Under - $2,991,667
Will They Get There? - The Sens have a fully signed roster. It will be a challenge to reach the cap floor.

Winnipeg Jets

New York Islanders
Amount Under - $6,427,667
Will They Get There? - Matt Martin and Marcinko are the only two RFAs they have left to sign, I do not see them reaching the cap floor.

Phoenix Coyotes
