Yeah, Im not suggesting that it cripples the Flames cap structure, it just makes it so that the Flames need to behave differently when it comes to off season acquisitions. Correspondingly, fans need to check their expectations when it comes to things like the deadline, and the UFA market. The Flames have been very active in these regards in the past, but I think that they are moving into a new phase of management. I believe that the Flames have already gone very close to going 'all in" as some say. I just don't know how much more they should wager on this season alone. I say, the Flames made their bet, now is the time to let it ride.
