How I got that number:
$642.5k full season cap hit to stop using LTIR
then $2.85 million in full season cap space off the books at the deadline means $637.5k in cap space created from the deadline to the end of the season.
That of course is the bare minimum of salary that iand doesn't allow for callups for the rest of the season. Ideally you would want more than the $3.5 million moved out so you can still do callups during the rest of the regular season.

Thanks for the math, but also, ugh.
Without putting too much effort into it, do you know if many other teams face this kind of scenario for next year?
I wonder if part of the price for not moving wideman is partially to force calgary to eat it a bit next year as well.
