Factoring in that Smid's LTIR relief would also be pro-rated and cannot cover the full difference, we'd need to move someone with an total AAV of ~ 2 million.

However, salary retention is certainly a possibility - Iginla's actual dollars paid this year is 500k lower than his first two years, and he's an expiring contract, which may make owners more agreeable in eating a portion of the remaining few months to make it moveable.
That all seems right more or less. I just get back to why Colorado would do it, and who Calgary would give up for 2 months of Iggy. I'd bet they ask for a second plus Klimchuk. Which would be funny.
