Aside from the expansion thing, what is the better option than from a buyout? I can't see any better options.
Burying him in the AHL next year doesn't save the Flames that much money.
Keeping him on the roster for next year is looking increasingly like a worse idea as, 1) he's regressed badly from previously and, 2) this team has multiple options on the farm who could likely do just as well if not even better as a 4th line centre. And, 3) Given how awful he's been, I can't see the expansions teams looking at getting him.
