I Also can see them doing a buyout if they don't see a fit here anymore.

Re-signing Stajan (bad deal) made sense considering the team's center depth, but signing Raymond always made little sense. The team was going to give the kids every opportunity win or lose and Raymond just doesn't do anything for the team. He gives the team another live body. He doesn't help the team get into the playoffs and he doesn't help the team long term.
