I don't think that's a given, especially when rebuilding.
The Flames certainly spend to the cap, but haven't often gone way over it. Now they will when contracts are front loaded, as that's just a timing issue. Spending an extra $50M over 5 years is another thing.

According to cap friendly the cost for the Flames would be 8 million. If they do not buy it out and play him for the rest of the contract the cost would be 52.5 million dollars. They might view a buyout as a cost savings.
