As FDW pointed out, the Flames are no where near the cap. They didn't have to give up spending money for n one area to spend it in another. The salary floor many as well be the equivalent of a fixed cost, so the Flames were required by rules to spend it.
There is no opportunity cost
By signing Engelland the oppourtunity cost is what that 8.75* mil could have been spent on. New ties for Burke? Training equipment?? Sure, it doesnt matter, its an oppourtunity forgone. The floor was already hit
