The available cap to sign a FA could grow to between $3.1MM and $3.5MM depending on who you send down to Stockton. Is this enough to keep Jagr hopes alive?

I wouldn't sign him for more than 3M regardless. At some point, his performance will fall off a cliff, the only question is when.
But I don't think he will likely sign up for the Flames' crazy road schedule for that amount.
And anyway, I suspect Treliving would prefer to leave himself a bit of wiggle room for depth additions at the trade deadline and to avoid having another bonus overage carrying forward into next season.
