To Calgary: 5th round pick (Boston)
Sign Kadri to a 4x7.5M deal
Yotes get to test drive Valimaki for free and likely can turn Folgino into a mid round pick at the deadline for eating 400k in salary and 2.625M in cap space (in addition to the space they take on). Boston sheds a bit of cap in this deal and keeps the 2011 rebuild alive. Flames open up space to sign the top free agent left on the market

Why would we trade Valimaki to simply get a 5th round pick back?
Lucic doesn’t have negative value, you just have to trade him to the right team - ie one that isn’t worried about the cap hit.
