To early to tell if they would use the buy-out. Flames still have to figure whether Iggy wants to be on this team after the shortened season. If he wants to stay and wants a competitive team, then yes they would probably buy out Stajan and spend his $3.5 million eleswhere.
As for J-Bo they should just wait until the trade deadline of his final year to get rid of him. If the cap goes down to $60 million, i doubt he would have any trade value at the start of the 2013/2014 season, unless the flames were taking back $6.7 million in contracts. It would probably be something like the return from the Dion trade. No thanks.
