FWiW - Sources said Calgary wasn’t retaining on Laine but instead eating someone’s contract for the season. I don’t know who. Columbus was being asked to eat as much as 50% by some teams.
Upcoming UFAs for MTL:
Armia
Dvorak
Evans
Savard

My guess would have been Dvorak, Flames have been linked prior. And 4m is a big cap hit.
