Heck, if I were Calgary, I'd be willing to eat half of Jaybo's salary if it meant landing Couturier. With Iginla gone, it's not like Calgary is going to have much cap trouble. If Kipper decides to retire next year, then that's another $5.8M off the books.

Edit: Now that I think about it, St. Louis is high on Bouwmeester as well, but are having money troubles. Would Calgary be able to coax a higher bid from them if they were willing to eat a significant portion of his remaining contract? I guess to us fans it's easy, since it's not our money. But I wonder if Edwards would do it for better trade returns.
