The cap space is a bit of a red herring. What player would have signed in Calgary this past off season?
They only traded their starting goalie because his agent asked for a trade.

When the Flames were in Toronto for a matchup with the Maple Leafs on Nov. 10, agent Patrick Morris — who represents Markström and is based in the Toronto area — met with Conroy. [...] Morris told Conroy on that day in November they could work together. As the agent, he could get a sense of teams Markström would accept a trade to.
