They have $3 million with 7 defensemen already signed.
They likely aren't going to have 8 defensemen on the roster.
When Mackay signs, Welinski's contract probably doesn't stay on the cap.
I can't see Mackay's coming in anything more than $1,000,000. He's probably wrangling for a one way, and the Flames are probably only going to give that to him if he takes $750,000.
So, yes the Flames probably have $3 million in cap space, which might be enough to offer sheet Thomas and get the player.
