That’s the difficulty with a team like the Flames weaponizing cap space - most overpaid vets in the league today have trade protection.

Conroy could get creative, but it would mean more retention. Palat is a valuable player at $3m a year, so they could potentially three way a deal and retain on Palat instead of Markstrom if they get a better return involving a third team. And Palat may waive to go to a third team who has a chance at a cup.
