Horton for $6M on a two year deal is fine too if he just wants to hang out and help rebuild the team and then trade him in the second year.
The idea is that if the Flames move all the vets out we are not going to make the salary floor. You can't do that with a team full of young players on ELCs.
The only problem I see is if we are relying on Horton to keep us above the cap floor and he gets injured, do we then drop below the floor and get penalized?

explain this. Why would Horton come to Calgary on a ONE year deal only to pack up and move again at the deadline? Why would he do the same on a 2 year deal?
