I think the Hamilton scenario makes more sense for all teams involved.
Ras is a UFA and probably wants $8-9M. Stars can't afford that and pay Roberrtson and Harley's new deal kicks in.
Hamilton 50% RS gives them Hamilton instead of Ras, but they get him at $4.5M. They need that cap savings.
Flames will be below the max spend on the cap for a few more years IMO.
Ras can be traded without RS, and the return doesn't change much.
Adding Hamilton in the mix for RS gains us way more assets as the Devils want to move him and the Stars could want him more than Ras. Adding way more for money than players IMO makes sense for the flames.
