Oilers are $11.5M + $2.1M for a total of $13.6M
Calgary $14.4M
Difference 800K over six years.
Basically no difference at all.

I see what you’re saying, but the post you replied to said you can’t buy it out to “save cap $”. Your post seemed to imply that isn’t the case, but in fact you’re just discussing two different aspects (seasonal vs total). Total cap hit is irrelevant in my opinion.
