This was harder than I realized. That cap space disappears in a hurry.
Gaudreau ($7.5/8 years) - Monahan ($7.0/8 years) - Lucic ($7.8/7 years)
Colborne ($2.4/3 years) - Backlund ($3.575/2 yrs) - Frolik ($4.3/4 years)
Shinkaruk ($0.863/2yrs) - Bennett ($0.925/1 year) - Ferland ($0.825/1 yr)

Trade: Wideman to Toronto for 2016 4th
Buyout: Stajan and Raymond (Cap hit of $2,008,333 for 2016-17)
Sign: Lucic... this is such an unlikely signing but would add exactly what Calgary needs. I figure that they would have to pay more than other teams and offer the security of max term, so I landed on $7.8 million for 7 years. It's an overpayment on pure production, but compared to a guy like Okposo the extra money would be worth it.
LTIR: Smid would be on this eventually but it doesn't do much good until the season starts so I'm counting his full salary.
Bonuses: $2,515,000 according to capfriendly.com
Draft: Dubois and send him back to juniors
Assuming a $74,000,000 salary cap:
Flames Cap: $73,753,733
Cap Space: $246,267 ($3,746,267 once Smid goes on LTIR)
2017-18 Salary Cap Hit: $61,747,066
