With the cap going up the Flames are projected to have something like 17 million in space. Even if Tkachuk holds out for Eichel money ( 10M) the Flames will have 7M in cap space for two goalies and Bennett. So that is a tight budget but not impossible.
This to me is all the more reason to keep the first. The Flames will need a healthy stock of ELCs to keep the cost of the bottom six low moving forward.
