To burn a year off the contract, it would have been for this year (though the 50 limit would prevent that possibility). Starting it on July 5th would start the contract for next season, and not burn off a year.

Yep, I know they 'unofficially' signed him to a 2-year deal, but I am just not sure why they can't make it official and release it now. There must be something in the CBA that prevents that I am assuming, but I don't know what. Flames will not be at the 50 limit on July 5th, so to me it makes little sense why it can't go through now (not that I am complaining - I am satisfied everything is fine - just wondering why).
