As the NHL’s salary cap will become one of the most pressing stories for Los Angeles and other large market teams this off-season, I decided to bring back a Rich Hammond off-season staple that you’ll want to bookmark as the Kings use the next five months to construct their roster for the 2015-16 season.

Based partially on information that was available when CapGeek.com operated, in addition to consultations with Hockey Operations and additional financial information available over the Internet, the Kings have roughly $64.14 million allotted to 17 players for the 2015-16 season, a figure that includes Slava Voynov’s contract but not Jeff Schultz’s. I’m hoping to add cap hits for AHL-based players to this post, but at this point I’m confident in only 90% of the AHL financial information I have and will wait until I’m completely certain before I add additional numbers to this post.

Without Schultz, but with Voynov and Richards, the Kings have 10 forwards, six defensemen and one goaltender currently under contract for 2015-16. There is a chance that the 2015-16 salary cap may not rise from 2014-15’s $69-million.
