There is no way those support players get those big salaries, not when Treliving is delivering great contracts for core players, contracts below market value. Again, way too much panic over something that is very easy to address. If Clarkson's contract can be moved, any contract, especially short term ones, can be moved.

The Leaf's have 36M to spend on getting rid of Clarkson.... That is what they will be paying Horton.
The Flames in a similar situation were not willing to spend 3-4M to get rid of Kotalik.
