I don't understand why some think salary for Ryan needs to be retained. I think a team looking for center depth will easily give up a pick for a 35-40sh point player who plays on the bottom six and only has 1 year remaining at $3.1 MM.

I also think Rittich should be traded (he may also want a fresh start after Markstrom) and I hope there are teams out there that may be interested. Maybe Chicago, Detroit, or St. louis. Rittich has the potential to be a starter and is on the right side of age 30.

Then, I would replace those guys with: Gawdin + Dell . These guys should make a combined $2 MM.

The Flames will then save $3.88 MM which will give them some breathing space to make other big moves. Its also enough cap space to sign Hall and spend a few months to maneuver the cap with some trades.
