The Flames have been saying they want players who want to be in Calgary. If Liles is using a NTC to block a move to Calgary, then let him play with the Marlies

I don't know if the Flames would claim him but the cap savings are only $900 000 for the Leafs. I'm sure they want Liles to be claimed (or at least for him to realize that he needs to be open to being traded to any team).
