Valiev made $80k in the AHL
Looks like cash savings of $470k to me?

It looks like 110 +350 from cap friendly.
So to me you keep kulak and play kylington in the minors where he makes a minor league salary of 70k.
So the flames ended up paying 450 in the minors and 700 I think for kylington in the majors when they could have kept kulak at 900k in the majors and kylington at 70 in the minors.
I believe that was the selling feature. Montreal was getting out from two expensive minor league contracts for salary they were trying to spend on the major league team anyway.
The flames are already spending assets like the house is on fire. Losing them for basically nothing and then trading more assets to replace them 6 months later is a bad way to run a team.
