I would trade Stempniak for Mike Richards.
Or take RFA Stephan or Hagelin or Zucurello for a prospect and a 2nd or 3rd round pick round pick. These guys would not be getting O'Rielly offer sheets but will want at least 3M like the Subban bargain.
Let the Rangers buy out Brad Richards and the Flame could use him as a stop gap for 2M/year.
The landscape will change but the Flames are in great position to take advantage.

You might trade Stempniak for Richards but there is no way LA would.
Brad Richards at $2 million would have many teams after him. I doubt he choses the team with the least chance of making the playoffs.
The flames are not the only team with cap surplus. Even if you were correct that the flames get to pick and chose like you said in another post, where would all these in coming players play? There really is not a lot of openings for the flames next year. If most other teams are in cap jail like you suggested then the flames would n ot be able to trade off players like Cammi, Tanguay and Stajan to make room for the new players. Sven and Horak should have spots before bringing in a bunch of overpaid "meh" ufa players.
