Salary added: -$3.1 million
In: Yegor Sharangovich, Jordan Oesterle
Out: Tyler Toffoli, Troy Stecher, Trevor Lewis, Milan Lucic
I’m shocked the Flames ended up this high, especially after losing the Tyler Toffoli trade. But addition by subtraction goes a long way and the Flames added a lot by not re-signing either Trevor Lewis or Milan Lucic. Part of Calgary’s problem last year was how disastrous its fourth line was with Lucic and Lewis being primary culprits of that. They’re gone now and as a result, the Flames are 16 goals better from those two losses alone.”

We lost that trade? Dom, get back in your time machine and go back to the future, you are wrecking this timeline.
