Ok, follow along here.
If the Flames are trading one of their other forwards to get cap space, they can't really take salary back in that exchange.
handwaving away being over the cap by sending out a big ticket forward like Monahan or Backlund without any cap coming back isn't an easy trade to pull off without getting ripped off in the process.
If they are trading away another forward to alleviate cap pressure, taking salary back doesn't exactly fix anything.
which is why they would need to send the salary out without it coming back.
