Signing two guys at a total of $1.4 m is not what is preventing the team from signing one player @ $1.4 m. Having cap-space tied up in expensive bottom-six players like Lucic and Ryan is.

Also, Flames are only at 40/50 contracts and $700K is completely buriable in the minors if, for some reason, you want to sign a better player.
