I think Stone will remain a Flame at least into part of next season to see how Rasmus does. Maybe even one more entire season.

So if Rasmus playes well are they sitting Kulak in the press box? I hope not as I think he has room to grow and could end up a cheap home grown Vet on the 3rd pair.

It's a good problem to have, but at some point the team needs to cycle young guys in and move out vets before they lose their value. It's a bit risky, but we have 4 solid Vets right now, I think having 3 is probably fine.

I get that it can stay on the book another year and not be a big deal but I'm of the opinion he drags down any line-mates he's paired with and fully feel it would be an addition by subtraction measure.

June 30 is the last day for the regular buyout window.

A 2nd buyout window can open up after salary arbitration.

Yeah, but we have to remember, having everybody healthy at the same time is pretty rare.

Buy out window ends on the 30th, guessing around 11AM Calgary time (mid day anyway)

If Ryan is done, and they feel good about another forward acquisition I think they buy him out. If they don't, they don't as they're better off riding out this season.

Moving Stone won't be difficult if they have to make space though, he has value.

[Freeway]

Players have to be on unconditional waivers by 10am of the 30th to be bought out.
