Now the big question is can Buffalo even put him on LTIR or does that drop them down below the cap floor?

Does “tagging” cap-space come into effect in this scenario? Where the Flames would have too much money committed for the 22/23 season?
*just checked, clearly not. Even just adding straight $10M it still
Leaves the Flames with ample space in 22/23*
