I'm not a big fan of this or Froliks contract. But if you take Brouwer and Frolik out of the lineup. It's putridly awful and 8.8 in cap space plus the assets the Flames have at their disposal...I don't see them making it much better without completely destroying their depth.

The Flames do have Bennett on his ELC this year, than Tkachuk for the next three or 4 years depending on when he's ready. Plus these two deals expire when TJ Bodie will be looking for new money. So the Flames won't be losing their best player because of this.

Get to a point where these are your two 'bad' contracts and you should be in good shape.
