For a guy who is going to play on your fourth line on a capped strapped team, it's a lot.
Try fitting him in on the roster with the cap in mind, it's really difficult.
As of right now, with the players they have under contract and no Hanifin trade, the Flames HAVE to move (trade or bury) Vladar in order to get under the cap. That is with Coronato in the minors and having Bishop on the roster as the 12th forward. This is also with only one extra player, Gilbert on the roster as the 7th defenseman.
Every dollar of cap hit is going to matter for the Flames this year, if they can't move a modest salary out with nothing in return.
