No. It's a cost cost.
Opportunity cost is what you have to give up of one thing in acquiring another. If Flames have only ten million to spend, who they don't sign when they sign Engelland is the opportunity cost.
As FDW pointed out, the Flames are no where near the cap. They didn't have to give up spending money in one area to spend it in another. The salary floor may as well be the equivalent of a fixed cost, so the Flames were required by rules to spend it.
There is no opportunity cost
