3-Likewise with Munroe (to be, sigh, our NHL backup) .475 mil -> .500mil
4-Jared Ross extends at the same cap hit (.500 mil)
I have the Flyers coming in at 58,472,167 with this lineup (which is legal if the cap doesn't fall):
Hartnell - Carter - Lupul
Gagne - Richards - Giroux
Carcillo - Briere - Asham
Kalinski - Ross - Powe
Timonen - Coburn
Carle - Parent
Jones - Sbisa
Biron and Munroe
Based on this, I think what I do is this: I move Lupul for pretty much whatever I can get, i.e. mostly cap relief, and use either that cap space or get back in the trade a 3rd line center, and a decent back up goalie. Then you can slot in some combo of Briere and Giroux as the right wingers on the first two lines.
EDIT: Almost forgot, thanks Mountain Hawk for giving me the toys to indulge my interest in Armchair GMing

Move Jones, waive Asham re-sign Knuble or another decent veteran offense player for around $2-2.5 mil and
Hartnell Carter Lupul
Gagne Richards Knuble
Carcillo Briere Giroux
Kalinski Ross Powe
Cote
COburn Timonen
Carle Parent
Sbisa ????? A similar signing to Vaananen last year (i.e. cheap and steady)
