Still think it was stupid of the flames not to eat some salary. The 2 prospects they got back could have been had for a late round pick each in another deal.

They still leave themselves in a position where at the draft they could move a player, eating some salary, to improve a draft position. Hypothetically, Maybe a scenario comes up where they can send Cammalleri at 3 or 4 million (eat 2 to 3 million) plus the STL pick to move up in the draft.
The salary space itself is going to be huge with it being knocked back to 63 million.
