Calgary Flames Can Take Advantage Of Rising Salary Cap

The Calgary Flames haven’t had to worry much about the salary cap in the past few years, and they aren’t likely to be a cap team this season. Though they are going to have to spend wisely as they will be inching closer to the high end of the cap in the near future, they do have some flexibility to take on salary in the short and long term.

The NHL salary cap was announced today and it will be set at $71.4 million for next season. The Flames currently have just under $50.5 million committed to next year’s cap, but have a handful of free agents left to sign.
