There might be an additional piece going to Vegas and/or the acquiring team.
Vegas is only offering a 2nd round pick for to compensate the 3rd team for losing $7mil in cash, and $3.5 mil in dead cap space for 2 seasons
The potential 3rd teams are saying no we want a 1st and 2nd for retaining Fleury.

Right, so if the Flames wanted to cut out the middleman, they would do so by taking Fleury without salary retention.
I don't know that the Flames should do that, even for Vegas' 1st and 2nd round draft picks.
