No way the Flames buyout Kipper. He is very tradeable and extremely movable this summer with 1 year and 1.5M in money owed. Teams that are trying to hit the 45-50M cap floor are going to line up to take Kipper off Calgary's hands even if it is for 1 year. At worst the Flames should be able to get a 2nd + prospect but no need to use the Amnesty on him.
Bouwmeester is also a tradeable contract as is Cammalleri. The only truly unmovable deals are likely Stajan and Wideman. With Sven and possibly Gaudreau ready to play in 2013/2014 Hudler might be too expensive to be a 3rd line player but he should be tradeable if need be.
