The Flames have a lot of good contracts. Assuming they can lock up Kylington for less than $5m/year - they'll have a top 4 defense with all guys under $5m. Lindholm is a steal at his contract.

Also need to give credit to these other guys too. I get everyone likes to say Tampa cheated with their cap but it takes a special team to be one of the best regular season teams sitting out their 100 point winger. Then this year the shed the extra cap and kucherov has played 4 games and they are even better this year. Point missed 12 games no problem they keep winning.
Let’s sit Johnny for the rest of the year and see what happens? Can’t even win the division with him. Tampa just keeps rolling without their stars because the support cast isn’t good?
How many man games have the flames lost to anyone worth mentioning?
