I think if we're adding someone this TDL, it has to be an expiring contract or we'll need to somehow include a contract on the way out.
The Flames already have over $82 million committed for next season when the cap is projected at $83.5 million.

I agree with you, but the Flames actually have something like $80.5M committed to 17 regulars with Kylington, $78M if Kylington goes on LTIR, or the Flames get out of that contract. Also, there's a significant chance that the cap will go all the way up to $86.5M.
