do only the top 53 contracts count on your cap?
if so that takes canucks 116.8mill down by:
4.2mill (bottom 15 contracts of a 69man roster - there are cuts, but they'll be replaced).

4.4mill lavar
10.2mill cuts harris(2), noble(1.7), raymer(1), ramsey(1.7), bowen(2), tupa (600k), hall (1.2)
...(ditching hall requires a replacement beyond tyler jones obviously)
4.68mill SB re-proration samuels(2.7), rogers(.16), moss(.35), portis(.387), taylor(.42), brunell(.287), griffin(.277), rabach (.1)
....(9 players reprorate this year, 5 of which can re-prorate again next year)

116.8 - 23.5mill = 93.3 without turning bonuses into SB and assuming only top 53 contracts will count...

I took canuck's info and looked at all the OBonuses numbers for players, here's were i'm foggy:
It shows 20.856mill in bonuses between all players with contracts through 2009 or 2010 (excluding lavar) for this year. do i just take that grand total, and divide it by 5? if so, that saves 16.4mill this year on top of re-prorations (unless they're included in the OBonuses section). Which means 76.9 currently and 25mill under cap. Is that right? I don't see how that'd be possible.

And again, Do only the top 53 contracts count towards cap?
