If I were a betting man I'd wager on the Flames using one of their compliance buyouts on Kipper this offseason... get's them out from the frontloaded Cap penalty and gives Kipper an extra nice retirement package.

Why would we use a buyout? Kipper's contract is not a 35+ and is not on the books should he officially retire.
edit: unless you're suggesting that he would not retire, and simply not report to the Flames either? Kipper won't do that.
