It's not the same as taking on Horton at all.
Horton will not count against the cap for the entirety of his contract.
Semin's will, and until 2018.
Do you believe that the Flames will be uncompetitive until 2018?
Add to that, the cap situation in the NHL is uncertain right now. It's expected to go down this off-season as well.
A few players are getting raises this off-season, so reaching the floor is of no issue either.
