Dallas wants the flexibility after Benn contract is up.
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.
