Meh.. I am sure that the Flames could have and would have dumped salary somehow. I mean, what's Hall's worth? Let's say it is a 1st and 2-2nds. No, probably not going to dump Lucic (as he has a NMC - but who really knows) - but you could dump players who have more positive value, and you could attach some sweeteners to make sure you don't get any salary back in this covid world.
Flames would have made it work. Hall chose Buffalo. That's ok. Now it is time to move on and find other guys that want to be here.. or just stand pat and re-sign the existing RFAs.
