~$11M that could have went a long way to fixing our top 9 RW, and #4 d-man problems.
Stajan at 3.1 isn't that bad, it's maybe, what, 1-1.5 in wasted cap space? Smid doesn't affect the cap as he's on LTIR. However, in his place, there is Derek Engelland.

Honestly, Wideman is the only real albatross, and he's almost gone, as is DE. The Flames' cap is fine.
