Flames have never gone into a season with considerable cap space under Treliving, no reason other than just guessing the worst outcome to believe it will happen now.

Well they won't have significant cap space going into the season once they sign Zadorov, Dube, Mackey, Gawdin and Valimaki anyway. That is a known unless you consider roughly $4M considerable, which it isn't these days.
Even at that rate, I'm not sure it's a forgone conclusion that the Flames would even be over the cap after a big move considering a significant, signed asset would have to be going back in any deal.
