Stone will make $3.5-million+$700,000 this year. #Flames had originally bought him out this summer to save cap space (US$2.33-million). Technically now, he's on the books for US$1.167-million+$700,000 for 2019-20.

How could they do that?

No expert here but maybe the answer is he cleared waivers before being bought out.

SIGNING UPDATE: #Flames sign D Michael Stone to a one-year, $700,000 contract. The final year of his three-year, $10.5M deal was bought out by the Flames last month after clearing waivers.

added 5:12pm, CapFriendly with the explanation below.

With regards to CGY buying out Stone on Aug 1st, and then resigning him on Sept 11th, there is nothing in the CBA that prohibits a club from doing this.

Only a player bought out under the "Compliance Buy-Out" provision was prohibited from resigning with the same club for 1 year. pic.twitter.com/BGCUjqcjnP
