Gaudreau... $6.75
Monahan.... $6.75 (between the 2, $13.5M should be more than enough)
Frolik......... $4.3
Backlund.... $3.575
Stajan........ $3.125
Bouma....... $2.2
Bennett...... $.925
Tkachuk..... $.925
Pribyl......... $.925
Shinkaruk... $.833
Giordano..... $6.75
Hamilton..... $5.75
Brodie......... $4.65
Jokipakka.... $2.5
Wotherspoon $.8
Elliot........... $6
Ortio........... $1
Total............ $57.76 for 17 players (guessing on the last 4, but the amounts should be reasonably close)
That leaves over $16.2M for 5 more players, assuming a $74M cap. I left out Colborne because I think if Martin were signed, Colborne probably wouldn't be.
You can argue a few of the details one way or the other, but the point is that we are not in cap trouble next year at all. There's room for a Martin if the Flames think he is an improvement.
Edit: I am talking about 2017/18 not this year

Bennett will be off his ELC. $5M+
