Similar to the Flames the illusion of cap space is temporary.

Yeah, except that a number of bigger contracts come off this time next year. Stajan, Jones, Hiller, and Hudler all end in 2016. Wideman, Engelland and Raymond the next year. Bollig too, FWIW. And Smid is done IMO.
Of those contracts most won't be back or will be at discounts. Hudler might go up, but I doubt it. You might keep Wideman at the same, but maybe not.
And I doubt Treliving will hand the keys to the bank to RFAs like Monahan and Gaudreau
