I realize there are a lot of variables and time related changes possible.

According to
GeneralFanager.com it's $8,594,601. However, according to
CapFriendly.com it's $7,964,100. I believe the reason for the variance is that CapFriendly has taking SOB's buyout into account, while GeneralFanager has yet to do so.
It's hypothetically possible that both parties are looking at $8M, but would need to move some money in order to do so.
Even if we take a much more reasonable $7.25M AAV as the assumption, that would only give the Flames $714k to work with to sign Freddie Hamilton (even without a raise, he's looking at $625-640k) and potentially another D man.
