If it was a pure salary dump...there are probably worse things you could do than 2 years and $10M of Karlsson.
It would actually be pretty shrewed use of the cap space.
Instantly helps your powerplay too.
But I kind of doubt it wouldn't have at least some assets required to bring him in.
Taking on a player like that (<3 years left, high salary but can still contribute) would be smart for where these Flames are though IMO. As long as they can still provide some value, the actual salary hit is less important for a non-cap team.
