I am sure the Flames can do that, but it doesn't matter because in the new CBA his contract counts against the cap regardless.

So until 2020, the Flames are paying him no matter where he sits.

This deal only works with a bit of retention from the Kings side, a jettison from the Flames side, and a good prospect coming to Calgary. There is no great return for LA with this contract and it seems like Treliving is their only suitor, advantage Calgary.
