Absolutely. Raymond's buyout goes off the books after this year as well, which is $1.05M.
The Flames free up $3M for the next 2 years, re-sign Backlund, and Stajan comes off the books. The only penalty is $1.5M the following 2 years when all other buyouts are off the books. I do that all day long.
The 4th line should be Glass - F. Hamilton/Lazar - Hathaway. This line would have energy and grit.
Jankowski can be the first call-up to replace someone on lines 1-3. That way he can play with skilled forwards and develop into that type of role.
