Can't see Calgary keeping any salary for a player not in the organization.

Why do you say that? Not saying your wrong, honestly asking cause I'm not sure my thoughts on this. To me, seems like they were willing to burry both Kotalik and Hagman, at least temporarily with the Heat, but fair point they also found ways to move those players eventually.
I also know many were hoping that Stajan would get burried, but I'm not so sure he didn't because on a lack of willingness, I think management might have had a different thought on Stajan's abilities than the coaching staff did.
I could be missing a whole bunch of the picture though. Also, regardless of history, next year could be different though. Team is now in a different mindset and not really pushing up against the cap, might see a different aproach from ownership.
