We have cap space but we also have players to sign. Zary, Coronato and Wolf will all get significant raises. All 3 could potentially eat up that 20M.

Well once we sign those players for a combined 20 million (wolf’s would not kick in until after next year anyway so maybe call it 13 million) the Flames would have about 27 million left next offseason to 5 forwards and 2 dmen. Cap space is not exactly a concern for the next 4-5 years for this franchise. God willing they sign all the young RFAs to long term 6-8 year deals and take advantage of this weird moment in time where their biggest problem year over year will be reaching the cap floor.
