But you don't need that cap space today. Until the start of the season the Flames can exceed the cap by $8.15 m, so it is totally plausible that they could add Eichel today without shedding any salary, can sign UFAs, and move Monahan/Backlund/Tkachuk or whatever in the intervening eight weeks to be cap compliant by opening day.
