Well the Floor this year is 51 million, capgeek has the Flames at 51.7 with 3 contracts left to sign. Take away roughly 2.9 for that godawful Englland signing and you are left with 48.8 million and 4 contracts to reach 23. The Flames would have needed 2.2 million to reach the floor, or just over 100K more than the absolute minimum they could have spent to get 4 contracts on the NHL books.
Either way give Bouma 3 million, he seems like a nice guy and next year we are not at the floor yet so who knows, there may be some fictitious reason to throw away money next year that this pre-emptively would answer.
