Just for discussion on the topic of buying out Fleury...
Buyout would cost Vegas $8,333,333 in actual money
$2,583,333, $3,083,333, $2,083,333, $2,083,333 cap hits.
Trading while retaining 50% for cost $6,250,000 actual money
$3,500,000, $3,500,000, $0, $0 cap.
Retaining 50% would save them $2,083,333 cash
$916,667, $416,667, -$2,083,333, -$2,083,333 cap cost
If Vegas would seriously consider buying out Fleury, I think that it would be considerable better for them to trade him with 50% retention. the cap hit would be less than $1M then less than $500K more for the first two years, but then free of the $2.1M for the next two. That's huge. I am sure that they prefer the 50% retention route.
