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.
and a Hathaway or his replacement and Mangiapane or a replacement.

So even if Tkachuk costs 9..

8 million between Bennett, Rittich, eat bread and Hathaway.

Bennett at 3, Rittich at 3, the other 2 at a million a piece average.

Leaves 1 million in wiggle room....just dont see Tre doing such as you never know when a deal comes that you want to jump on, and to be prevented because you are at the cap?
