Then why are we currently paying Ryan Murphy buyout money. He made 700K and the Flames could have easily plopped him down in Stockton for a year. They didn't.
Having a one-way deal is an asset to keeping him up with the big club rather then the AHL squad. Full stop. Yes, yes, yes,... it's not a guarantee but if things are remotely close they're going to opt to pay the NHL money to the guy that has to get the NHL money and AHL money to the guy that can get paid AHL money rather then then doling out NHL money to both.
