If Craig manages to trade Hanley for a mid round pick, then waiving Kuznetsov becomes a 4D chess move.
I would have liked to see Solovyov kept over Bean and Hanley. It's not a big loss, but it's something the Flames will need to be mindful of in the next few years. Teams are limited to 50 contracts and 23-player active rosters. With an influx of players turning pro or become waiver eligible, Conroy should think hard before signing plugs to fill out the roster.
