Neal buyout next summer is...
$1,916,667 For 4 years (until 2024/25) on top of paying Lucic $750,000 until 2022/23.
If the Flames bough out Neal in 2019 they would have that $1.916 cap hit until 2026/27.
Draisatl’s deal is up after 2024/25 and McDavid has one more year on his contact.
They are paying over $4.5 million for no one to play for them this year on the cap.
Next year it won’t really change if they buy Neal out.
I remember Stauffer yammering on about how buying out Sekera made sense for cap flexibility after the new US tv deal to jump up the cap.
Welp... whatever the cap goes up by... they pretty much blew it on Neal.
