I'd say about half the league or more could clear waivers. IMO the only iron clad slam dunks on Flames roster that wouldn't clear:

Gaudreau
Tkachuk
Lindholm
Monahan
Mangiapane
Dube
Valimaki
Hanifin
Rasmus

That's not meant to be an indictment of the team's contract situation so much as a reality of the league. But I think it's helpful to think about when considering trade value. A lot of the other players have value, like Markstrom, but you have to take a contract back.

Actually for all the consternation about Bennett, he probably gets claimed because of his expiring contract.
