Gillies buyout has some merit.
Because he is so young, his buyout ratio is 1/3 instead of 2/3. It would cost the Flames two season of $125k cap hit and salary instead of paying Gillies $750k next year in the AHL.
In total it saves the team $500k in real money for minimal cap penalty.
It also simplifies matters for next year's AHL goaltending giving Parsons and Schneider the 1A !B slots instead of a potential 3 headed monster.
