I believe it is safe to assume our cap number goes down significantly with the new CBA. Being able to prorate bonuses over 6 years(as reported earlier) rather than 4 is a big help. Not sure what that does but I'd be suprised if it didn't save upwards of 5 or 6 million. That plus the obvious relase of Noble, the trade or release of Ramsey, and the release of some other non-essentials will probably put us below the cap without having to restructure. Any newly agreed upon restructures will be used to get us free agency money I imagine. I would also guess that most of the now voided restructures aren't as cap friendly under the new CBA as any newly negotiated restructures would be.
