5m is middle 6 money and that's what he is. We're not desperate for cap space. We have room on the roster (for now..).

When you factor is ELCs, young player drafted in the mid rounds, cheap vets and back up goalies. You should be able to have 8 bodies on your roster around $10-$12 mil. Leaves $84-$86 mil for 14 guys. Cap teams usually don't have 23 man roster.
That's $6 mil or more per player. The Flames for 3 players north of $6 mil right now. $5 mil top 9 players should gain you some cap to pay elite players.
Cap is supposed to climb 3 years in a row. $5 mil will be close to 4th line money soon. Next year that is a decent 3rd line contract
