As for the assumption that the Flames can just eat salary on every player they ship out, as you point out that’s a call that will be made by Edwards, not Conroy.

I hope we retain 50% on 3/4 contracts that expire in 2024 as an additional method to preserve cap space for next season.
Max retention of $7,575,000 (Backs, Lindholm, Hanifin as highest paid contracts) in the reserve for next season. A little less than 7.5m if you're swapping Toffoli as a 50% contract over one of the big 3, which is more likely. Ideally, 2 spots would be good and a 3rd one for the TDL in case we needed to for someone like Tanev or Zadorov.
