Obviously, those guys won't all pan out or need massive raises, and maybe a couple will be traded, but that will be tough to navigate, especially if a few of those guys turn into stars and if the Flames have an internal cap they need to follow.

I think 3 of those guys will get a ELC slide as they are 19.
I don't see an issue unless someone is much better than expected. Parekh is likely the only guy that could get $10M.
If all those guys play in the next 3 years, Kadri will be gone.
