I don’t get this from anything Lebrun is saying.

Has any team in the history of the cap era had problems with meeting the cap floor? It’s nothing to worry about.

The focus for the Flames should be getting value for some of their oldest players (Kadri, Coleman) who certainly won’t be part of the team when they are competitive again.
