I think Steinberg is overstating the Flames cap flexibility issues.
According to capfriendly, the Flames have $154,958 in projected cap space.
They can call up a player like Quine and he will cost them ~$4k per day in cap space on the NHL roster. Which means they could technically bring Quine up for 40 days on the NHL roster without needing to make a corresponding cap move. So if we are talking a handful of games, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
They also have potential LTIR space they could use with Valimaki, which according to capfriendly they haven't dipped into yet.
