Wondering if we hear news of a #Flames buyout today. Bouma, Stajan both potential candidates with one year remaining.

Buyouts make no sense IMO.
Bouma
- Buyout: $667k Cap Hit
- Minors: $1.175 Cap Hit
Would rather spend $500k more this year and still have him available in case of injury problems than have the cap hit on the books for next year too.
For Stajan I fell like with one year left that there would have to be a market in a trade if the Flames retained some money. A buyout would cost us $1.8M this year to the cap, feel like if we just retained $1.5M in a trade Stajan could actually have some value at $1.625M cap hit.
