The Flames are going to try to re-sign Tkachuk and Gaudreau to long term deals with huge AAV's
They can't do this without clearing cap somehow so they must have a plan in place to do just that.
If Johnny walks, they can still do whatever it is they are planning and sign a UFA or two to take the cap space that was slotted for Johnny.
I'm not saying they SHOULD do this, but I won't be surprised if that's what happens.
