Okay, here are my estimations for the next season.
I have made these moves:
Out from Detroit:
- Bought out RW Jordin Tootoo with a compliance buyout, no caphit.
- Let walk UFA D Kyle Quincey and his 3.775M caphit.
- Let walk UFA RW Mikael Samuelsson and his 3.0M caphit.
- Let walk UFA W Todd Bertuzzi and his 1.875M caphit.
- Let walk UFA W Dan Cleary and his 1.75M caphit.
- Let walk UFA G Jonas Gustavsson and his 1.5M caphit.
- Let walk UFA RW Patrick Eaves and his 1.2M caphit.
- Let walk RFA C Cory Emmerton and his 533k caphit.
Also released rights for prospects F Willie Coetzee, F Andrej Nestrasil and D Gleason Fournier. Kept the rights for D Max Nicastro and W Trevor Parkes.
To stay at Detroit:
- Re-sign RW Daniel Alfredsson, with same style of 3.5M + 2.0M bonus deal. This gives us some extra flexibility with the cap.
- Re-sign D Danny DeKeyser, for 18 million, 6-year deal (3.0M caphit)
- Re-sign W Tomas Tatar for 6 million, 3-year deal (2.0M caphit)
New faces on Red Wings 23-man roster:
- Promote C Riley Sheahan from Grand Rapids, re-signed to 2-year deal with 900k caphit.
- Promote D Adam Almquist from Grand Rapids, re-signed to 3-year deal with 700k caphit
- Promote RW Landon Ferraro from Grand Rapids, re-signed to 3-year deal with 700k caphit.
- Promote RW Mitchell Callahan from Grand Rapids, re-signed to 3-year deal with 600k caphit.
- promote G Petr Mrazek from Grand Rapids.

CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(estimations for 2014-15)
SALARY CAP: $71,100,000; CAP PAYROLL: $62,069,545; BONUSES: $195,000
CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $9,030,455
First AHL-callups on injury cases would be Tomas Jurco, Luke Glendening, Calle Järnkrok, Teemu Pulkkinen, Xavier Ouellet, Ryan Sproul, Alexey Marchenko and so on.
***
So promoting all kids who'll lose their waiver eligibility (Sheahan, Ferraro, Callahan, Almquist) and letting the dead weight walk, we will have a full 23-man roster already for next season.
And after that, there would be 9 million of cap space. Or 7 million, depends how do you want to think of it, because that Alfie bonus will slide to 2014-15 cap from this current season. But if we extend Alfie with same style of deal, we can create that that 2.0M room back to 9 million.
So there would be space to made a MEGA-UFA SPLASH on Free Agency, or just let that cap space grow towards the 2014-15 trade deadline, where we could eat almost 30 million of contract values. That's nothing but very very interesting situation. Either way, we could bolster the team at summer, or be a big buyer at the deadline again. Or maybe both.
