Ex. Flames and Habs are both 1st in their conference. They swap overpaid 3rd line wingers making ~5 million and now they both have ~2.5 million wingers on their playoff roster.

Interesting. I think you might have found the next loophole.
Unless retention and buyouts etc. still count towards the cap, but I haven't read the CBA or the whole discussion.
