For the second consecutive summer, Brad Treliving will be using the second buyout window to terminate a contract that he signed. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Flames have placed defenseman Michael Stone on unconditional waivers for the purposes of buying out his contract.

Treliving bought out UFA signing Troy Brouwer last August under similar circumstances.
Stone, 29, joined the Flames from the Arizona Coyotes via a trade deadline swap in 2017 that sent a pair of picks (one definite and one conditional) to the desert.
