The Flames cap situation for the next 2-3 years is not bad at all. They could sign most of the UFA's and be under the cap next year. But it would be hard to say they are in trouble today, basically none of them have signed.
Long term Kadri is the only contract that could be a bad one and I still believe it will be ok for years.
Huberdeau and Weegar have good contracts IMO. Weegar's deal is a steal.
All 3 of these guys will bounce back and this thread will look stupid in about a month or 2.
Lindholm stays at $9 mil if you consider what he went through last year and the season he had he's worth it. Guys like Matthews are getting $13.25 and probably much more in 5 years. McDavid and Leon probably get $15+ mil.
If we start resigning everyone fine maybe the cap won't be great and we could rank near 32nd, but has it even happened yet? Did we sign someone because I see 3 guys on long term deals. 4 if you include Coleman but he will be 35 when that deal expires.
