Until I see the team use this to a greater extent to facilitate a trade, I view salary retention as something ownership is very much uninterested in, and we've seen this discussed on the Barn Burner podcast as well.
The Flames have only retained salary once since it was initiated and I believe have used by far the least in terms of dollar value in the league.

They've bought out players in the past which is the same thing as retaining on a trade.
