Here's how I see the cap hit breaking down with rough estimates of $.

Gaudreau (7)-Monahan (7)- NEW GUY
Colborne (3)-Backlund (3.575)-Frolik (4.3)
Ferland (0.825)-Bennett (3.194)- NEW GUY
Bouma (2.2)-Grant (.8)-Jooris (1)

Giordano (6.75)-Brodie (4.65)
Engelland (2.917)-Hamilton (5.75)
Jokipakka (0.9)-Wideman (5.25)

NEW GUY
Ortio (1.0)

In Minors
Stajan - 2.225
Raymond - 2.25
Bollig - 0.35

All of that adds up to a few dollars short of 65 mil. That leaves 7 mil or so to add three key players. Trading Wideman is necessary as his dollars can go towards one of the two forward spots and he can be replaced by Nakladal for about 1 mil. If the Flames luck out and pick in the top 3, that will fill the first line spot for the same cap hit as Bennett, leaving 4 mil to get a goalie.
