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.

It really doesn't matter what the exact number is. With all the action surrounding the expansion draft, buyers and sellers at the deadline, and teams ability to take on salary.... your assertion that Calgary
"can't fit him under the cap"
Was flat out incorrect.
I'm done with discussing this with you now, as I've said three times what you're doing is trying to get me to waste my time coming up with a trade you think makes sense.
I don't care to do that, because I don't think anything you're saying makes sense, and was rooted in just trying to nix the idea because you don't like it. I couldn't care less if a specific, logical trade proposal isn't suggested to you on a message board that's to your liking. It's irrelevant.
For the last time, there are multiple scenarios that could play out that would make it rather easy to fit in an expiring salary of that nature at the deadline, regardless of who it is. To suggest otherwise is just being ignorant.
