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.

I only added 2M replacing Wotherspoon with Smid. ... I don't think Ortio will be on the Flames next year... certainly not for 3M .... the 3.8 M goal tender place holder would put the Flames in 29th spot as far as Goal tender cap.... Buffalo is #30 ... not the standard the Flames want to keep up to.
With Hiller already committed and paid for the Flames felt is necessary to bring back Ramo at 3.8M.
Over or under on the Flames spending 4M next year on goalies?
The Flames just gave Hamilton 5.75 for 6 years ..... there is no way that they would have traded Monahan or Gaudreau for Hamilton even up.
Everyone was raving about the magic that Trevling did getting Hamilton for 5.75 x 6 ...
Contract wise Gaudreau and Monahan will be in the same position in June 2016 as Hamilton was this year..... except they will have a far better track record ...
If Monahan and Gaudreau don't get more than Hamilton it will mean that the Flames will be looking at a top 10 draft pick as their play will have fallen way off of expectations.
