So then suspect that varies during the year with callups/send-downs.
The accountant in me imagines that there is a cap monitor on each team that makes sure that at noon (or whenever), the team is always cap-compliant. So, with Smid on LTIR, the Flames have a fair bit of wiggle room (assuming they keep whomever they need to be close to cap without him).
So why doesn't Smid just retire? I'd assume he still collects his insurance and then relieve the Flames of having to track him?
