Why do calgary any favours at that point? Why not ask for 2 first round picks for 2 million in cap relief? What's tre going to do, say no and start the season over the cap threshold?

Any team looking to free up say $10M right now will be looked at suspiciously. Sure Calgary with Tkachuk signed is obvious, but so too would any team that suddenly needs to drill a big hole in their roster.
Can't see much difference to be honest.
