The point of the Semin + 1st proposal was a pipe dream like many other proposals. If Carolina can dump that hideous contract and player to someone else, they have to sweeten the pot. Not a lot of other teams can fit Semin under their cap and Flames have the cap room and spending dollars for him now and can use a talented, albeit lazy RW. Carolina isn't exactly a hockey hotbed and a McDavid would be lost on their fanbase.
