Jersey has to move more cap. They have Boqvist, Bratt, and Woods as RFAs. Boqvist is probably going to cost them $1.5-2M on a short-term deal. Bratt is going to get $5-6M and Wood will do no worse than his qualifying offer of $3.5M. So you're talking $10-12M in additional cap with those players. They need help with dumping cap to fit Tkachuk in.

Yeah, agreed after looking at their cap situation. There'd be big (necessary) value to NJ in the Flames taking both of Tatar and Johnsson ($8M combined cap) off of their hands - this would open up the space for NJ to fit all of Tkachuk, Bratt, and Woods deals under their cap.
To CGY
Mercer + Holtz + Tatar + Johnsson + 1st
To NJ
Tkachuk + 2nd
Flames flip Tatar + Johnsson at the deadline for a couple picks.
