If they have to hit the cap floor in their first year - they'll need to get some guys with salary as well.

Yes, but they are picking 30 players so will pick at least some prospects. The Flames' NHL roster is weak, unless they leave Backlund or Frolik unprotected, so they are almost certain to lose a top prospect
