So you suggesting something simply "can't be fit under the cap" as a non starter was a waste of time. Just like it is continuing with this discussion.

The reason it's not easy is that to move bodies out, you need to replace them. Bouma makes the most sense because he's replaceable, as has been seen. If you, by some miracle, move Wideman, you need a #4 D which means you have to spend money, which defeats the purpose. Stajan makes enough, but then you need another C. If the Flames are doing this in a PO push it's probably got to be a veteran C.
So, yeah it's possible, probably only for Bouma because he's the only guy with significant salary that you can move without needing a costly replacement, And then you need to add the part that makes Colorado even want to do it.
These "multiple moves" you speak of are actually quite rare.
