The Flames have one bad contract and 2.6 million in buyouts on the cap. Contrast that with the army of value contracts we have. We are tight this year due to the activity last summer, the unexpected flattening of the cap, and the Tkachuk contract. But going forward, at least for the next three years, we are in great shape.
Besides, the Tkachuk stall has nothing at all to do with the cap this season. Treliving is playing his leverage to try and get another value contract on the books.
