The thing is, the cap only works if you wait right until the deadline. As another poster pointed out, the Flames have only about $2.8 million in prorated cap space today, but if they wait until deadline day to add players, that amount doubles.
At the moment, the Flames have the cap space to add Jarnkrok but not Toffoli. If they wait until the last few days before the deadline, they'll be able to add both (assuming that two league-minimum players get traded, waived, or bumped to the minors to make room). From a team-building perspective this is not ideal, but from a cap perspective that's how it has to be.

If I told you that the sky was blue due to a certain amount of chemicals which I cannot name specifically in this instance was a true statement would you also say that the proof is my burden? Give your head a shake. The internet is there for everyone. If you want to disprove me, go ahead and do so.

This kind of insulting drivel is not even worth responding to. You haven't made a case, only an accusation, which we've all heard before and for which there is no direct evidence. I didn't conveniently forget anything. I just think your interpretation of the facts is wrong, if not downright crazy.
Based on your one accusation against Tampa Bay, you have invented a wild story that there is an evil conspiracy led by Gary Bettman to deprive Canadians of the Stanley Cup by allowing
all U.S. teams to exceed the cap whenever they like by as much as they like. Well, every team in the U.S. is cap-compliant at the moment, and some of them have traded away multiple picks and useful players to get rid of bad contracts to get there. If this is a conspiracy, it's a piss-poor one.
