That will never compete with the gambling ads. Not sure it would be any more annoying either.

Yeah this could be a nice opportunity for the Flames, but not a lot of time. It feels like a gift after the gloomy cap increase announcements.

This is going to be great for the Flames. Extra Cap and Vegas who cheats the system more than anyone can't do it this year.

Florida has to shed $4.5MM to make room for Tkachuk when he comes off of LTIR. If he's gone for the entire regular season, they will have to put the same amount in the press box to get him into the line up. They will be interesting to watch.

Cap space just became quite a bit more valuable.

If a player returns and is on LTIR the relief is only the NHL league AAV of $3.8M.
Vegas has no space to replace AP.
This is very good news for the Flames.

But also, may limit who we can trade Andersson to or perhaps even mean that Andersson walks as a UFA without being moved

Perfect year for a Vegas flop from a Flames perspective…. Fingers crossed.

Or the Flames take a cap dump back in exchange for even more future assets.

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.

Well, only Gene's would be bare. McDavid would still have his lucky socks on.

Yup and reduces the benefit of waiting to make move until the trade deadline since accruing cap is almost useless now that you need to be under the cap for the playoff roster
