Teams won't just trade good players for us because the don't have the cap space, most teams will figure it out.

I would disagree, even with a suspect team last year, the Flames didn't have a lot of problems getting UFA's, and Hudler and Weidman's deals were in line with what they would have gotten elsewhere.
If there are mass buyouts and free agency boosts because of the decrease in the cap, players will go where they can get a paycheck.
