Francois Beauchemin will be bought out, sources tell BSN Denver

as a 35+ multi year contract, Beauchemin's buyout doesn't change his cap hit, but saves the Avs owner ship $1.5 million in cash. Also frees up an expansion protection slot as he had a NMC.

given Burke's history with him, I am sure someone will suggest the Flames look at him

Wait for it.....
