But it's Mercer + 1st for Markstrom and $6.7M ($1.5M/year in retention, and $3.7m cap dump of Vanecek) in cap over two years...which then makes more fair because that $6.7M is worth somewhere between a 1st and 2nd.

Its when there is another sweetener for retention / taking Vanecek that I think really throws the imbalance in the Flames favour.
