LTIR doesn't help with bonus overage. You can't use LTIR relief to absorb a performance bonus because the way LTIR relief works is that a team has no actual cap space left.
Being on LTIR at the end of the season automatically means all of Tkachuk's performance bonuses will roll over to next season.
Anyways it seems like the Flames think Stone might come back before the trade deadline if they are already thinking about a conditioning stint in Stockton for him.
