“ Canucks will buy out Byron in the off-season. I looked up his buyout on the calculator, and it is super team-friendly”
I could be wrong as I’m not a Canuck fan but they’re going to need every bit of cap space to sign EP, Hughes, and Demko. I’d also wager 4.6M cash & cap isn’t “team friendly” for that return considering Marleau’s buyout was 4M cash and 6M cap space and returned a first round pick. The only difference is that Marleau’s (35+ contract) was one year vs spread over four years but was pre-pandemic.
For Detroit’s side, is the retention really necessary? We’re already taking on more cap and Ryan’s will be prorated anyway. Detroit will need those retention slots for bigger contracts.
