$ 30 million coming off the books in the next 2 years sounds great until you factor that the Monahan, Gaudreau, and Bennett extensions that have to be signed in the next 2 years will likely mean they will use close to half that $30 million combined. Salary cap is also not expected to increase a lot in the next few years.

$15 million to replace 9 players and I doubt the Flames will break in more than 3 or 4 players on ELCs into the NHL during the next 2 years.
