If 650k is correct, we're at 56.957k for 24-man roster (incl Zajac). Adding Stralman and dropping Fraser will probably come out close to even. A little over $7M in cap space.
EDIT: Add buyouts of course of 2.667M.... around 4.6M

Even still, Larsson isn't going to look all that great with Fraser as a partner. He needs paired with Tallinder or Salv, imo.
Then again that lineup seems really out of order, since Zajac isn't even in the center position, nor is Henrique.
Indeed. More likely, as per TG, the pairing appears to be Greene and Larsson. Not that that's that great of a pairing, but if it really is the pairing, at least Larsson's gonna be paired with someone who works hard
It seems like Lou is finally understanding what makes a post-lockout team work. You can't just hand out a little extra money for guys you like. Everything's coming up Milhouse since yesterday, how am I supposed to wait until Saturday?!
24 man roster, not including Stralman. It looks like Pelley is going to be the odd man out which is kind of sad because of how hard he plays. I guess Stralman has to wait for an injury to get paid, like Adam Mair last year.

Pelley was also one of the few players that showed up in the first half of the season. He's got grit and physicality yet doesn't take bonehead penalties. Pelley was solid on the PK as well.

It's only 24 if you include Zajac, who is on IR.
And yes, Stralman will have to wait for Lou to clear room somehow. Either through an injury, or simply getting rid of someone.
Worst pairing ever.
