I go back to my original point and that the Flames are not a team that usually has a lot of buyouts and wastes money unnecessarily. That's a good thing! Teams like Edmonton and others have historically tried to buyout their problems instead of avoiding them. In another thread people are already talking about cheating the system for LTIR for Kane in Edmonton and they just bought out their #1 goalie in Campbell for 6 more years. There has been years where some teams have 3 and 4 players with dead money on the cap.

I don’t recall anyone saying it was over retention. It was due to lack of assets coming back for said retention.
