Some here think they will get bridged or just wont get paid on long term deals. I am of the opinion that that they will be paid and on long term deals.
They haven't even talked CBA yet apparently the NHLPA isn't ready to start so we don't know what the asks are but if contract length comes into play this could be our last chance to sign them long term.
Coronato, Frost and Zary should take up 21 plus in cap space. Depends what you think of Bahl but I wouldn't be too keen on signing him super long probably around a 3–4-year deal at 4M.
We still would have to sign Wolf at some point and this off season might be our only chance to do a 8-year deal. They also want to sign Andersson apparently, he likely wants to double his salary to say 8M a season.
Just signing our own RFA's to deal takes out of any big-name free agent with 10M in cap space. You also don't want to Treliving the team and have them capped out July 1st,
Not sure what Steinberg is talking about, forget the player not being a fit here we don't have the money. Seems like it is something he wants to see and is trying to speak it into existence lol.

Hard to imagine Calgary already projected to be close to cap with this team.
I'm not sure why you'd be offering Frost a long term deal at this stage. Unless it was at a very low number. He's looked OK, but not long term OK.
If Calgary is going to be a capped out team with little star power, welcome to the mushy middle.
