All of the sudden the Flames are short on cap space. Would that knock them out of the Eichel sweeps?

Would the Flames buy Gio out? Would they do a salary dump trade to make room for Eichel or UFA RW?

Cost of the salary dump? a 3rd and Kylington?
So cap hits aside, you believe Keith is a better player than Gio right now and that Gio is worth absolutely nothing in a trade?
