Even if they wait until the deadline, they would have to send more than $3M back. And then Reinhart would have to quarantine for 2 weeks, leaving only a handful of games left.
Even if the cap could work, would you seriously give up Kylington, a prospect and a 1st for 10-20 games of Reinhart?

I'm no capologist, but aren't the Flames saving quite a bit of dough by having waived Ryan, and others, over the course of the season?
For the sake of balancing cap considerations of the trade, I wonder if including a roster player (one of the three depth adds this past offseason; Lievo, Simon, Nordstrom) moves the needle much. Kylington + Simon (lets say), a 1st, and a prospect? I don't know, maybe it doesn't make sense. With some creativity, I just wonder if it can be done.
Renhart is also an RFA at years end. The intent would be to resign him. I would definitely give up Kylington for him. Kylington is behind Gio, Hanafin, Valamaki, and arguably Mackey. At the moment the Flames need a RS top 6 forward much more than a LS D.
