I think getting a 2nd or 3rd to take a guy in that $3-4M range would be the more likely outcome this year...and then you hope you can flip him for more at the deadline.

The asset was probably for the 50% retention, not Kuznetsov himself.
If rumours about former Flames liking to party are true, I don't see the Flames bringing that kind of influence into a locker room filled with young players. They've probably worked pretty hard to get that attitude out of the room.
