The Flames are in a new to them sort of cap jail. Players making more than $1.8 M actually can’t be traded without cap hits being included in the return or added to the roster prior to the trade

At the deadline players are already roughly 80% paid out for the season, that 80% counts against the cap, and if you retain 50% on the trade you are essentially trading paying 90% of their seasons salary and 90% of their cap hit. In the case of someone like Kuzmenko, Calgary could in theory move him at the deadline without any returning cap hits because they will pay somewhere between 4.4-4.95M of his 5.5M cap hit
