Teams, including the Flames have had to play games with short benchs though because of lack of cap space. It was one of the contributing factors to the Flames missing the playoffs in 2009-10 (could be wrong on the year) if I recall correctly. Not a direct forfeit, but believed to have contributed to the losses.
