<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Do I believe that it was at least brought up in a meeting at some point? Sure, they probably have talked about it for a few years now. But the conversation usually ends when they look at the financial ramifications of making that decision. Buying him out next year will hurt a lot less than buying him out right now, and that’s if after this season it’s still in consideration.</div></div>

I agree with that but who knows what their thinking is now...is Pegula changing his thinking to where the owner of the VGK's was to win a cup before he leaves this life.
Time will Tell in the next couple of weeks I guess. It could hinge on who/if they go after a high profile UFA.
If it's a top 6 forward I'd like to see Necas...right age etc

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Lindy is a hockey coach, not an accountant. He probably Doesn’t care about the financial ramifications of buying him out. That’s not his job. However, I don’t see how you make this team better even beyond one season if you’re buying out a 30 goal scorer and paying for a replacement. I think the talk is coming from people who have nothing else to talk about, because they’re farming for engagement during the off-season. The idea of buying him out right now is nonsense, and everyone’s buying it hook line and sinker. Same media principles as normal. They control you by telling you what to think about or talk about. Why do we feed into it?</div></div>

Adams didn't say no to it today in his press conference...pretty much said he didn't want to get into specifics when asked

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Let me make things easier for you. Skinner isn’t being bought out by Buffalo, at least not this year. They also probably aren’t going to take the risk on Val because he signed for a very long time at not an insignificant cap hit, and twice has essentially bailed on his team by being irresponsible. If Colorado is lucky, they will be given a chance to terminate his contract without a penalty due to a breach of contract. Otherwise, they are probably stuck with him.</div></div>

I agree with you 100% but I'm a firm believer where there's smoke there's fire. There is talk about the Sabres buying him out this year (https://www.sportsnet.ca/podcasts/32-thoughts/) , maybe Ruff has told Adams to get him off the roster at all costs. We know next year makes more sense but maybe Ruff was given more say on the roster to take the job.
