Gaudreau (6.75) - Eichel (10) - Mangiapane (2.425)
Tkachuk (7) - Lindholm (4.85) - Coleman (4.9)
Dube (2) - Backlund (5.35) - Pitlick (1.75)
Lucic (5.25) - Ruzicka (801k) - Lewis (800k)
Ritchie (900k)
Hanifin (4.95) - Andersson (4.55)
Zadorov (4) - Tanev (4.5)
Mackey (1) - Kylington (850k)
Stone (800k)
Markstrom (6)
Vladar (750k)
Total: 80.176m
A little more than 1.3 million in cap space if I did the math correctly.
If Zadorov signs for 500k higher, there's still a little breathing room.
Can't imagine Tre is doing much right now other than working on the Gaudreau extension and checking in on the trade market. RFA deals can be done after that.

Did you include the Brouwer buyout ($1.5M). Don't meant to be picky but the Flames would need to nickle and dime a bit. They would also lose one of Mangiapane/Gaudreau/Tkachuk the following year as they would all require raises. Aside from that the lineup looks pretty good assuming Tanev doesn't get injured.
