Not that I have any qualms with this idea, but the Flames have a lot of business to take care of before we can talk about any amount of cap space.
- Hanifin needs a new contract, which will likely cost $4-5 million
- Lindholm needs a new contract, which will likely cost $4.5-5.5 million
- Jankowski needs a new contract, which will likely cost $1.5-2 million
- Kulak needs a new contract, which will likely cost $1-2 million
- Shore needs a new contract, which will likely cost $1-1.5 million
- Rittich and Gillies both need new contracts, which will both likely cost $0.75-1 million... but only one will count against the cap at a time
Then you have depth forwards like Hathaway, Versteeg, Stewart, and Stajan, one of whom will likely be signed for about $750-900k. That all adds up to a range of cap space between $13.5 million and $17.9 million. The latter would afford a couple of high-priced free agents for sure while the latter might accommodate one medium-high tier guy plus a lower-tier guy like Riley Nash, Derek Ryan, or Thomas Vanek.
