As for J-Bo they should just wait until the trade deadline of his final year to get rid of him. If the cap goes down to $60 million, i doubt he would have any trade value at the start of the 2013/2014 season, unless the flames were taking back $6.7 million in contracts. It would probably be something like the return from the Dion trade. No thanks.

Stajan 3.5 M is already spent. The Flame have to lower their contracts by around 8-10 M.
Buying out Stajan and don't re-sign Iginla would just get the Flames to the top of the Cap and keeping all the rest of the contracts the same or getting equivalent priced replacements.
If the Flames have any chance of re-signing Iginla for 2013-14 they have to be buying out Cammalleri or Boumester... or maybe Wideman.... and even then they would have to be replacing all open spots with league minimum contracts.
The Leafs now have to dump Hagman, Stajan, White , Mayers and
not get a Phanuef back to drop the 10M in salary.....
The Leafs left 7 m in cap space to get Loungo..... that plus another 3M is gone from their current contracts
ALL teamsd that are currently at the cap will be looking to drop significant contracts.
also the league minimum is also going up
