Totally agree, my only point is that the Flames do not need to trade Markstrom to create 23 million dollars in space for 2-3 players. There are not many 8-9 million players out there that need to be picked up as bad contracts. 17 million in space is more than enough to try that approach. There are maybe 5-7 players in the entire league that you could target for that who have a cap hit of over 4 million a year. Almost none of them have a cap hit over 6 million.
