I suspect that the Flames won't spend right up to the cap, but not because Edwards is worried about saving money. I think it is just a factor of going into what looks like more or less a rebuild. They are going have a few ELCs playing up the line-up, and there is no point in loading up on expensive players if you're not going for it.
They will probably leave some room all season as well in case they can weaponize it by being a 3rd party brokering trades or getting sweeteners to take on expiring bad contracts.
