One of the worst trades in recent Flames history was forced due to the owners unwilling to continue to spend actual money on Kotalik in the AHL. Had he been sent down, his entire cap-hit would have been off the books at the time.
Regehr, plus negative value Kotalik, plus a 2nd round pick (Jake McCabe) for Butler and afterthought Byron.
