Flames will have to do some cap gymnastics this offseason anyways, so wonder if they'd be interested in bringing him back to play with some of the younger guys on a 4th line, and be able to jump up the lineup in case of injury to others. Wouldn't be the worst insurance option if the price was right.

I doubt it's league minimum, maybe around $2m?
I think rebuilding teams would be happy to pay $2-3M for him to play some tough minutes and hopefully generate a return at TDL.

I wonder if the better move for him would be a league mininum 'load management' season on a contender, where he might win a cup and potentially show well in the playoffs to earn a bigger payday moving forward.
