After his signing bonus he is paid on July 1st 2028, he is due 11M in real dollars over the last 2 seasons. That could be a contract someone is wiling to take on to get that 10.5M cap hit those last 2 seasons.
With that in mind, you still need to get through 4 season before the above could be considered.

To get some value I think it takes at least 2 years, probably 4.
But tradeable is not getting value, all I care is can they at some point in the next 2 years trade him if he wants to move on. Taking back a lessor term bad deal and even a mid pick going with him is worth moving on from his contract. $10.5 for a 70 point guy with Josh Anderson coming back might be doable next summer. I doubt Conroy does it then as I think Kadri will be the guy on the move next summer, but the following summer there could be teams that are interested if the Flames take a bad deal back.
