The Flames have 17 guys currently under contract for 17-18. That will grow obviously when some the RFAs get long term deals, but there is basically no way for them to have 25% exposed without leaving someone like Frolik exposed if you're only counting current contracts.
I have to believe pending UFAs will count toward the 25%.

I think it's pretty certain that pending UFA's don't count, so teams will need to get creative with personnel...
