ALL the cap teams will be dropping someone with signficant salary with this buy out.
After all the input on this thread it is almost surely has to be Bouwmeester. He is by far the worst Flames contract.
The only other options are Cammalleri or Wideman or Kipper....
Ie the guys making over 5M.
As bad as Stempniak and Sarich and Stajan are being overpaid .... when you count in their roster replacement at 1M they provide very little cap savings.
If I was a Flames owner I would make a rule that Feaster can't give out any contracts to surnames starting with "S"

Pray tell who would be replacing those 3 players at a fraction of their value.
You probably won't find a sub-3 million dollar player to replace Cammalleri or any of the above mentioned unless you find yourself in a very fortunate position.
In terms of savings over their replacement, it is Stajan - 2.7 million dollars right off the top. You can't replace a top 4 Dman, #1 goalie or 1st line player for the difference listed unless you find yourself in a very good situation with Sven or another Rookie (lol).
I also want to see Stajan get his walking papers out of spite too. If his terrible performance over the span of games as a Flame isn't enough to do it, I would like to see him gone for his role within the PA.
He can try to eat his principles.
