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.

Not only that, but it is also likely the case that players will want short term contracts (since salaries will be temporarily pressured). That's a perfect scenario for the Flames, sign UFAs to 1 and/or 2 year deals. Then they can be traded at the deadline for assets.
