Man... that just really rubs in how bad the Gudbranson signing is - if $1M in cap savings can afford you an additional $3M AAV player at the trade deadline, that could afford upgrading from a middle-sixer to a first liner or a solid depth D. Not that I think the Flames are too likely to need to grab rentals at the deadline this year, but if it turns out we are contenders then that extra cap space could have been handy.
