Time to buy out the guy in Sweden as well...enough is enough.

I have a hard time taking it as a serious discussion, and an attempt to think outside the box instead of trolling. That said, here's my take:
Markstrom has a NMC, and I don't think he would be open to moving. Even if he does agree to waive his NMC, you would absolutely be selling low on a guy. Furthermore, Vladar has never played as a number 1, and I think that you're underestimating at how good Markstrom has been for him. You can see Markstrom being the veteran presence on the bench during games, steadying and encouraging Vladar. Wolf is also largely untested, and I think he would benefit from having another veteran around, which Vladar will be in a couple of years.
As for Kylington, what would buying him out accomplish? Cap space is only good if you're going to use it, and I'm not sure which upgrade you have in mind. Besides buying him out seems like kicking a guy when he's down, I don't know what he's going through, but I think there's a reason the Flames are so supportive(i.e they know something we don't). I don't get how you as a fan want to make a pretend informed decision without having any information.
