But you aren't getting $6M. You may have to retain, and you are certainly getting salary back.
I look at it this way: Flames are paying $6.75M for two goalies. Next year $8.2M. That's not bad as long as one plays well and the other is backup capable, which even Markstrom is right now.
And Markstrom, more than some replacement, is capable of being good again. Bobrovsky tends to bounce between being very good and not, and this may be Markstrom's pattern. Or maybe he's Cary Price 2021 - not good regular season and then found the old game in the POs.
And if he bounces back some but you still don't trust him, THEN you sell.
