I'm with Heavy Jack. A conditional third isn't much, but the salary retention is decent, and worth something. Spending $5.25M on a useless player is better than $6.5M on a useless player. If (and I know this is an assumption) Flames ownership would not allow a buy out, the buy-out contract of Lucic is immaterial.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
