IMO this will end up more limiting to our competitors. If the Flames are selling top 4 d-man and have cap space to take a cap dump back, they have an advantage over sellers who can't take a cap dump back.
If someone wants Andersson, for more than a rental, they will need to have the cap space to sign him next season anyways. For this season, they'll need to unload some cap. The Flames can take that cap. Will probably cost extra though.
Cap, in general, is likely to have a lot of value this season, as several teams had likely already factored in LTIR into their playoff drive (Vegas I'm looking at you) and will now need to unload cap.
