Some Teams Wouldn't Do a buyout like VGK or TOR
Some im not sure like BOS or STL
Some teams might not want to buyout for $ Reasons like CBJ, CAR, or OTW
Thoughts?
Just a first Draft to see what the League Might look like next year.
Current rules do no allow LTIR players to be bought out. And especially for players who expect to be LTIR for the rest of their career, there is no cap benefit to buying them out.
Why would toronto not buyout. My idea was Marner and then resign him for 8.93 he got overpayed and dubas needs to fix that asap. They need money for defense next year so makes total sense to buyout lul

Compliance buyout rules say tou cant resign a bought out player for a year
ARZ buys out Goli
BOS probably doesn't buy anyone out tbh (from their roster)
CAR-Gardiner
COL-nobody from their roster, maybe Johnson
EDM-Neal
LAK-Doughty
MTL- SHOULD be Price
SJS-SHOULD buyout Burns or Vlasic
STL-Faulk tbh
TBL would never buyout Killorn, he's been one of their best forwards this yr and doesn't have a full NMC next yr, they'd buyout palat Johnson or Gourde before him
WPG-Little
WSH-Oshie
???? If you buy him out he’s a free agent you can’t trade him if you buy him out
meh even if we cant trade him its fine with 10 mill in money toronto can go after a big defenseman cause sure we can keep the big 4 but our defense needs help fast cause a good offense needs a good defense. If we dont buy out marner than its probs johnsson. 3.4 for what he did this year is an uh oh no. The last option could be trade a team for someone they want to buyout but cant and we do it for them
it's hornqvist for the penguins.
JJ is easier to move if they want to dump him.
Especially considering they could send him to a few other teams who could instantly buy him out at no cap penalty.
Bruins wouldn't buyout Krejci, guy is good for close to 60pts a year and a elite #2C. If anything they'd take someone in trade for a team, gain assets and use the compliance buyout on them
Is Buffalo not able to buy out Jeff Skinner? Him and Okposo have similar production and Jeff Skinner even plays on a better line. I'd rather lose someone making 9M for seven years instead of someone making 6M for three years because Skinner is just going to age poorly.
