Yeah with the Zadorov signing the Flames have 19 players signed, with $7.7M of cap space remaining.
They need to sign Mackey, Valimaki, and Dube as the only notable RFAs. Those three combined probably don't cost much more than $3.5M.
Meaning they have $4.2M to add a piece without sending any cap the other way...or could add as much as $10.5M in a deal that sees one of the big forward pieces (Tkachuk/Gaudreau/Monahan) going the other direction.
