Calgary's buyouts ...
O'Brien, Shane - Inherited
Raymond, Mason - His Signing
Murphy, Ryan - Acquired to Buy Out
Bouma, Lance - His Signing
Brouwer, Troy - His Signing
Stone, Michael - His Signing
All in all Calgary in pretty decent shape on this front.
That's not necessarily a tribute to the GM, as the ownership has to agree to these, so perhaps there would have been more.
But nothing there to suggest he's painted himself into a corner with buyouts compared to most NHL GMs.
