If the Flames were to buy out Neal, the cap hit goes down to 1.9 million for the next 4 years. It certainly looks like that may have been a fatal flaw in the build of this years team. Tha being said I am happy the Flames made no acquisitions at the trade deadline. They are certainly more than 1 or 2 players away from challenging for the cup.

1.9 for the next.... 8 years
