Flames now have around 7m left for Hanifin, Hathaway, Rittich and Kulak. After accounting for those with arbitration rights, I guess there'll be around 4.5m available for Hanifin ... so it's either going to be a bridge deal or they'll have to make room via trade or buyout if they want to go long-term.

I may be reading CapFriendly wrong, but there's 5.58m in cap space right now. I suppose it matters which of the backups is on the team. With Gillies at 0.75, I assume Rittich will get something similar, likely slightly more.
Because all of these RFA deals so far have settled more or less as expected, I assume they fully anticipated this cap crunch. And I assume they have their 'get out of jail' planned - however I'm getting a little nervous what that plan actually entails.
