With the Trade Deadline being March 21st, that likely will have more impact on the last stretch of games.
It looks like he league is using 200 days to calculate salary cap usage this year as opposed to the regular 186. So the amount of a players cap and salary to be paid after the Deadline this year is less than it is in years past with the Deadline still being 40 days from the end of the season. So maybe a team with a bit of cap space like the Flames can make moves to bring in some help a bit earlier than other teams who need to the time for the cap to be available.
