The Flames do. And so does every other team except New York and Toronto. So it makes it easier to pull a Marleau-like trade and trade Lucic than it would Neal for buyout purposes.
It also means 7M they save to spend on other UFAs, or scouting, or trainers or coaches. It doesn't magically vanish (although probably most ends up back in Edwards pockets).
