I wonder how Knight is seen by Florida and the rest of the league right now.
2 more years left at $4.5M ... .898 save percentage in the AHL this season is not great.
Feels that a team that wants to win now, and is facing a bit of a cap crunch would potentially want to move that contract out, and is probably negative value at this point.

I'd do that in a heartbeat, and helps the Panthers open up $4.5M of cap space for two more years after this one that they desperately need.
For the Flames they take the risk on Knight...but they can feel more confident moving Markstrom, and then would have Knight/Wolf in the goalie pipeline (two guys played in two WJC championships together for the Americans).
