Again, show your work, instead of sneering at the argument. The Flames don’t need to stay 10M below cap for the hit to be irrelevant. The relevance is them being unable to do something they otherwise would do. So what is it?

Show my work? What do you mean, predict how they would use the cap space? You haven’t seen rebuilding teams weaponize cap space before? With a productive use of the $10.5M would they even be rebuilding?
Did you not listen to the GM talk about how valuable cap space was at the deadline?
It seems that you bring Huberdeau up often , even in game threads. What is it? I thought that at a minimum all Flames fans at least acknowledged that his play/contract is a problem but you want to fight that?
Now I do think they need to resign themselves to living with it for several more years unless another equally bad contract manifests itself. There isn’t one currently. But suggesting they are no worse off because of this is nonsense. Whether they are rebuilding or trying to contend.
