Great work by InCoGnEto... nobody has yet filled the gap left by Cap Geek
If Smid is cleared to play then this means that Hudler and Russell are in their farewell as a Flame tour. 2016-17 InCoGnEto has the Flames dropping their Goalie cap hit from 7.9M to 4M and the cap going up 5% to 74.9 .... neither very likely to happen...
With Smid replacing Wotherspoon and adding 2M to the cap the Flame committed 2015-16 cap without Hudler and Russell is 71.9M ... above the 2014-15 cap allowed.
The roster 2016-17 is short 2 players.
If nobody will pick up Raymond.... since he is making more than 900k his cap stays with the Flames.
There is a lot of Cp people that simply say get rid of Raymond/Smid/Engelland/ Bollig.... that has not been happening. For example when the Flames had a lot of cap room they did not make one cap space for asset trade.
Even for the 2015-16 season the addition of Smid move the Flames right up to the cap level. Which of the 17 listed forward get sent back to the AHL?
Maybe Ferland won't sign for less than a one-way 900K. That way his cap stays with the Flames when he get sent down.
It sure gets a lot more difficult for "Nothing given , everything earned" when contracts make you play Mason Raymond over someone you have to bury to save cap space.
PS. If I was the Canucks I sure would be willing to give Ferland a 1.8M *3 years one way deal and give up a 3rd round pick.
If Ferland signs an offer sheet with anyone for 1.2M the Flames get nothing.
Of course they would match but then they have one less roster option.

Because the negative impact is largely in your head.
You referred to InCoGnEtO's spreadsheet as if it is fact.
Maybe you don't understand what an assumption is. But here are a few of the assumptions that you consider to be truths that get you to your conclusions:
Monahan $6M
Gaudreau $6M
Colborne $3M
Granlund $1.5M
Wotherspoon $1.5M
Ortio $3M
I will take the under on every single one of them.
