Flames still need to move salary to sign anyone at all. The cap space will be eaten up by Bennett, Tkachuk and the 2 goalies.
Cap Friendly shows $12.2 million in cap space with 11 forwards (including Quine and Dube) 8 defensemen (including Kylington) and Gillies on the NHL roster. T
Tkachuk and Bennett: $10 million
Rittich and Talbot: $4.5 million (backing out Gillies and his $750K)
Mangiapane - zero, assume it washes with one of Kylington, Dube or Quine)
Let Hathaway walk and still need to find $2.3 million. And you're going to want room for the deadline.
Deal Frolik with no salary retention and re-sign Hathaway and you should have about $1 million left. But I suspect the Frolik market is terrible.
