Posted this bit already in the other thread (before I saw this one), but since the discussion seems to be going on over here, I'll repeat myself:
Long term, the numbers add up, but this year it simply wouldn't fit under the cap.
Toskala's salary doesn't jump to $4 million until next season... this year, the cap hit is $1.375. Raycroft's cap hit is $2, not $2.2... so Toskala + Tlusty + White + Raycroft would only clear $5 million, and adding the salaries of Pogge and Clemmenson to our cap number would bring that down well under $4 million.
