The terms "able" and "can", when used in the present tense, are often interchangeable. The use of "can" is generally used more often. The term "can" has no future form so for that situation "able" is the only option ("will be able to").

The term "will" has a more definite feeling to it. "We will go to the store." means that going to the store in the future is definitely going to happen. If a condition is placed on going it still feels definite. "We will go to the store after we get our work done." means that going to the store is definitely going to happen after the work is done. In a similar context, "can" feels less definite. "We can go to the store after we get our work done." feels like going to the store after the work is done will probably happen but it may not happen.
