Wouldn't have to be Dube.

The team is supposed to have $850k of cap space at the deadline based on their roster today.

Waiving Richardson or Ritchie would open up another $800k of space.

So if it was Valimaki for Statsny 50% retained that would work as an example.

Valimaki: $450k against current cap
Richardson/Ritchie waived: $800k
Current Space: $850k

So Flames would be able to add about $2M in cap space if it's Valimaki going out the door, and if we just waive one of the two extra forwards.
