The ELC consideration does play a role for sure, just not for the Flames. I don't expect the Flames to be a cap team within the next 3 years. After the ELC is over RFA contracts play less and less in terms of saving cap space(judging by the contracts Edmonton is handing out, and examples such as Ryan O'Reilly).
