Between trades, buyouts, LTIR, etc, they have lots of options to make it work. Most of those contracts are coming off the books next year too, so they could do it fairly easily if there is enough mutual interest there.
Unless the Leafs can trade Lupul, Laich or Michalek how can they get in on the Stamkos free agency frenzy ! I know the Horton contract goes to IR but they still need to free up cap space.

Teams can go over cap during the offseason. I'm not sure what all of the deadlines are but I believe they could sign Stamkos easily and just put Horton on LTIR before the season starts. The other concern related to what you brought up is filling out the rest of the roster.

There's always ways... With the number of entry level contracts that the leafs could ice they could bury a lot in the minors... Their pockets are deep enough
He's going to Detroit anyways, so leafs won't need to worry
