You can't bank cap space during rebuilding years in order to use during contending years. The amount of money the Flames spend during the rebuild vs the contending years is irrelevant.

Far too much overanalysis of our cap situation. We're losing Wideman's 5+ million, Engelland's almost 6, Smid's 3.5 after this season.
