One of the best names in hockey will be in search of a new home this offseason.
The Calgary Flames have placed forward Lance Bouma and defenseman Ryan Murphy on waivers for the purpose of a buyout, the team announced.
Bouma, 27, had logged 304 games with the Flames, scoring 27 goals, but just three this past year. He was scheduled to make $2.2 million next season, but the Flames will be on the hook for a cap hit of $666,667 this coming season, and $766,667 in 2018-19 instead, per Cap Friendly.
Murphy, 24, was the 12th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes, but has obviously failed to live up to the high expectations, tallying just 37 points in 151 NHL games. He was acquired by the Flames on Thursday in the Eddie Lack trade.
