Semi-related question -- what happened to the last year of Kipper's contract? I know he retired so the Flames were off the hook for the cap hit last year, but if he were to unretire, is he still bound by the final year of his contract? And more importantly, could the Flames pay him the $1.5 million to sit in the press box and then apply his $5.833 cap hit to reach the floor?
Heck, I wouldn't even be opposed to Kipper warming the bench and playing 15-20 games a year backing up Ramo, but I'm guessing he's done stopping pucks for a living...
