As I understand it, I don't believe Salim is correct about not being able to use the Richardson cap space until after he is claimed or clears at noon MT tomorrow.

I believe the league only requires cap compliance each day at 5:00pm ET, so as long as the Flames are compliant today at 5:00pm ET and compliant tomorrow at 5:00pm ET, they can make moves in between that temporarily make them non-compliant.
