On that point, everyone seems to assume a zero cap increase going forward. Even this year, when people predicted a zero increase or maybe a decrease, it went up a bit. The average increase is much higher.

Why would you think revenue is no problem? What would the profit made by the Flames last year? Any idea? Once revenue drops below expenses a problem will present itself.
In the calculations on the
Flames 2016-17 cap crunch it the general assumption was a 5% cap increase was in the works...

If the cap stays at 71.4 rather than the 74.9 the Flames would right against the cap with No Russell, No Hudler and Gio at 7.5M.
The 20% exchange rate has happened since this time last year. The exchange rate increase to the USD since Jan 1,2015 is 13%.
