It doesn't look like Heineman is going to pan out.
Pitlick was terrible and the Flames had to offload him.
And yes the removal of Monahan's cap hit from the books is directly what allowed the Flames to sign Kadri. No trade, no Kadri. There's no way around it. The two are directly linked.
So no, there was no "fleecing" here. And for you to suggest that there was "cap mismanagement" beforehand is just as ludicrous. Have you seen the sweetheart deals of Elias Lindholm and Rasmus Andersson? (and others)

And Hanifin, Backlund, Stone, Vladar....
Cap management is fine.
