Toffoli ($4.25M)
Zadorov ($2.75M - Flames retain $1M)

$7M Total Salary

for

2023 1st
2024 2nd (PHI)
2024 3rd (Conditional to 2nd of Carolina makes Stanley Cup Finals)
Ryan Suzuki (2019 1st - keep the Flames tradition of having the worse brother alive)

Carolina has the room to take on that $7M next year easily. Flames open up some cap room for the offseason and add some assets to either use in the draft or to use to re-tool.
Carolina has built a great team with a great future and managed their cap perfectly, doubt they go through all that effort to acquire a couple older guys and deplete their future potential.
