$35m + whatever Goose made, but that's assuming Gordon takes the qualifying offer. At about $45m if Gordon extends. The salary cap is going to be around $60m, then the luxury tax will kick in around $70m. We'll have a good bit of space to make moves, but it depends on what the new owners are willing to do.

ETA: I see drake's link has Goose down at $1.5m, so there you go.

ETA2: Less whatever the draft pick costs are, but we obviously don't know where that's going to be. I'd say +$6m total. That would put us at about $8m below the cap.

there's differences in numbers between the two links. what's that all about? It says that Goose is making about 1.6 M this season btw.

The 35 million doesn't include Gordon's qualifying offer. They are at 35 counting Girdon as zero. So add 13 million to resign him and that puts us at 48. Add about 2 million for goose and we are at 50 million already.
