Hard to describe in words just how badly having James Neal on this roster right now impacted the ability of the flames to improve the team yesterday.

I get that Neal has been useless this season.
But what sort of buyout are you talking about? Regular buyout where the buyout cap hit gets spread out till the end of time or are their rumors of compliance buyouts this off season?
A regular buyout this summer would be 2/3's of $5.75 for double the reaming contract length I think. So $2.875m for 8 years?
No chance the Flames handicap their salary structure by doing that.
