With a 22 man roster right now the Flames have $1.8M in cap space.
Meaning that in order to make a Eichel trade work they need to shed $8.2M going back the other way, and then roll with a 21 man roster. That's still doable.
It was always going to take shedding one of Gaudreau/Monahan/Tkachuk, and probably one of Dube/Valimaki to make the cap work in an Eichel trade.
They could still make it work with a combination of one of the big forwards, and one of the promising young guys moving.

For better or worse this is Darryl Sutter hockey.
