Right now the Flames have 1.5M in Dead Cap on the books for 2021/2022 and nothing beyond that (yet haha)
That's not a bad situation. Yes previous mistakes were made - and if you want him gone for those that's valid. Comes down to if he has learned and won't make similar mistakes in the future.
But almost every team has dead cap space and buyouts.

Agreed in isolation, but should be but another factor in his evaluation. (trades/drafting/free agency/etc)

A lot of stuff to consider; Brouwer is the only one for CGY that was more than 1 year remaining, whereas EDM has three 2 yr buyouts since 2017 (Neal, Sekera, Pouliot). So does NJD.
NAS bought out 4 years of Turris, and of course the MIN BO's hurt a lot. |
Right. But like I suggested, the same GM in that time? no.
