Do the Flames even have cap room to go out and sign a free agent? If you're signing a UFA, you're obviously going to be offering up something significant for 3+ years if it's an impact player and while the Flames have space this year, I don't see management painting themselves into a corner after acquiring Hamilton, with Giordano still needing a contract and Monahan, Gaudreau and Bennett needing new deals in 2-3 years.
Treliving was able to rob Boston because of poor cap management. Don't think he'll put himself in a similar position 4-5 years into the future.
Is there a good site now that shows player salaries for teams?
