The 2022 National Hockey League trade deadline is mere days away and the Calgary Flames have already made two big splashes by acquiring Tyler Toffoli and Calle Jarnkrok. Many sources and insiders are suggesting that the club will probably try to add another blueliner, if they can. But given the Flames have just $712,022 in deadline day cap space (based on PuckPedia and our internal projections), how can they swing a deal?
Here are their options! (Spoiler: All the options involve their trade partner retaining salary.)
First of all, some assumptions: The Flames will probably try to keep some cap space around for in-season recalls from the farm due to injuries.
