Another option is to trade Frolik for someone that is basically a $2-3M cap dump (i.e. a lesser player).

Team A trades a guy that costs $2.5M and has a $2.5M cap hit for Frolik who costs them $3M. It doesn't hurt their budget, and they get a better player. The Flames save a couple million in cap hit.

There are options.

Edit: like the Riley Nash suggestion (lol)
