Flames will have no problem getting everyone signed under the cap.
My conspiracy theory is that the NHL will make sure the leafs are able to fit all their star players under the cap, watch it increase by $15 mil next season.
Also, Derek Ryan is so far not an upgrade on stajan from what i've seen, but at least the money is essentially a lateral move. Only thing Ryan brings is exceptional face-off ability, the rest of his game is soft and he doesn't appear to be as fast as everyone seems to think. He's basically a poor man's paul byron
