In 4-5 years the cap situation will suck regardless if JG is eating 2-3 million more then we would like.

The cap is rumoured to go up in the next few years as well, so the Flames may get some much needed cap relief when they have to re-sign Lindholm and co. Lucic's contract will also be off the books after next year so that will certainly help them moving forward.
I think the Flames' window for contention is still open for at least the next 3-4 years, IF they re-sign Gaudreau.
