There's a good chance the Flames may look to use cap space on UFAs to a) hit the cap floor, and b) later flip with retention for asset/etc.
I think that's very unlikely

Flames have used their retention very few times in the past (Markstrom and Andersson)

As for cap floor remember Wolf's cap hit next season is $7.5m
