Jones looks like the obvious case here as $8 million for two seasons is going to be tough to stomach when you consider what he brings to the table which is bottom 6 skill when he's healthy. Not sure it's going to happen but he's probably the most likely candidate after O'Brien. That Tangs trade was a waste of money for the Flames and in hindsight Feaster would have been better off just buying out Tangs if he wanted to get rid of him as he ended up taking more salary back for two plugs.

I see what you're saying about Jones, but how does paying him anyways and him not playing help? I don't see a single advantage to a team that is so far from the cap to buy someone out. Send him down then. Unless we need contract space, but I don't believe we do
