Under contract next season:
Forwards:
4.3 Frolik
3.6 Backlund
3.1 Stajan
2.2 Bouma
2.2 Raymond (buried)
1.3 Bollig
0.9 Bennett
0.8 Ferland
Defensemen:
6.7 Giordano
5.8 Hamilton
5.2 Wideman
4.7 Brodie
3.5 Smid
2.9 Engelland
0.9 Jokipakka
that's 48.1m if we assume that Smid is healthy (doubtful) and nobody is traded or bought out (very doubtful). That gives Treliving ~26m to re-sign Monahan, Gaudreau, Colborne, Nakladal and Ortio. If we assume that Treliving re-signs that group to a combined 18-19m, that gives him ~8m for a decent goalie and maybe a depth UFA or two. And again, that's without trades and buyouts as well as Smid on IR. A year later, Wideman, Engelland, Raymond and Smid finally come off the books, which frees over 13m. The Flames are fine in terms of salary cap.
