Calgary only has 2 retention spots left. I doubt he waste one on the likes of Barrie. Kuzmenko likely needs retention just to move him, but the return would not be good anyway, so likely a waste of retention.
The best value of those 2 remaining retention spots would be at the TDL helping other teams for a price.
Unless Andersson +retention is worth a huge bundle to a cap strapped team.
