If Cammalleri leaves as a free agent next season I can't see anyway that the Flames are going to be able to make the cap floor if indeed it ends up being the speculated $51 million.

Unless they're giving some big raises to guys like Bouma, Byron, Butler and Colbourne it looks to be like they're be hovering around the $44 million mark minus Cammy.

Doubt they're going to be able to get any $7 million free agents to sign here either.

Lots of leverage for Cammalleri in negotiations would be my guess. He's positioned well.

Even though I thought Wideman was on the way out I also think it ensures he'll be on the team again next season. They'll need his salary too towards the cap floor.

Should be an interesting off season for Treliving.
