From what I understand if you go the LTIR route you give up on accruing cap space for the deadline.
The Flames were thin and therefore not accruing a tonne of space any way, but they always had the possibility/chance of moving a contract and getting a bigger day to day accrual
With the Czarnik injury I think they were simply out of options and had to use the LTIR route, and he makes more than Valimaki so he's the guy to go on LTIR
