Down to 13 ish after talbot?
7 for Tkachuk, 3 max for Bennett
3 max for Ritter
Nothing for Mangipane
Really pooping the bed with the lack of trades in Frolik and a d man.
My concern is that they're sitting on their hands too long.

Stacked LW though, something has to give. Does Calgary have many guys that can move to the off wing?

Not interested in Kreider as I feel that is a pure rental move or require a massive overpay to keep.

My guess is other teams really wanted to see where the chips fell in free agency before giving up assets to get guys.

I feel "a cool story bro" coming on.
I just switched my car registration from Quebec to BC and the girl at BCAA couldn't figure out that the net weight of the vehicle was "masse net".

If Gardiner is the roadblock, that's ridiculous. Brodie and Hammer are both better than what's out there right now. Things should be rolling.
Too much hand sitting.

I don’t get what the rush is. The Flames literally cannot afford to bring back the same team as last year. Trades are inevitable. And we are months away from the start of the season yet.

There are some extra contracts in there that can be buried in the AHL, not counting against our cap.

If you take Quine and Gillies out of the equation it’s roughly $11 mil (assuming Eat Bread and Dube make the opening night roster). There’s simply not enough to go around for all the RFAs that need signing.
One defenseman is on their way out for sure, and Frolik is probably as good as gone also. Just a matter of waiting for other chips to fall first.

With Hathaway gone one of dube or Quine is going to count against the cap.
Send down kylington, Gillies a dubr and you're at like 11.6m

Either way, they're playing a dangerous game. People worry about losing player for peanuts, them not creating a little space to defend against an offer sheet is egregious IMO.
