Description
No one knows if there even will be a CBO this year but lets setup a list of teams player that would be bought out if they were given 1 CBO per team.

My only criterion are I only used guys with MORE than 1 year left and no perma-LTIR players. (My gut tells me Seabrook will try to come back BTW to that's why I added him.) Also some teams I felt wouldn't even need to use one as they are already doing well cap wise and if they HAD to buy out a player it would be like 1-2M player only so there's no point of stating it here.

NO TRADES to other teams so that they can use their unused buyout for your team at the cost of a draft pick . REMEMBER: EVERY TEAM WILL BE IN THE SAME BOAT NEXT YEAR. SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO JUST TRADE YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY. Money will be tight and owners will be stin-gee about GM's trying to take advantage of the situation like that.

If it would be someone different or if I didn't add one from your team, let me know who and WHY they would instead.

PS: NO, Marner, Price, Karlsson, Vlasic, Weber, Bobrovsky, Subban etc will not be bought out. Has to be somewhat realistic. No team is buying out these guys, at least NOT YET.

Why do you have Gourde here but Subban isnt realistic. One is a young player that was just signed to a decent deal, the other is an old player on a HUGE deal that needs to be bought out. Same with Bobrovsky and Vlasic.

OVERALL, good job. But your logic there was flawed

The problem with buying out guys like Bob, Price is that they are starters, and there may not be replacements.

One of the things I find interesting about the CBO conversation is the cap aspect.

Lets say the cap went up 3 million per team. x 31 teams is 93 million in new cap space.

You look at the cap here that is being wiped out. $92,708,332

My guess is you will see a larger cap increase next year if there is a CBO than if they were to raise the cap by 3 million.
I say this because there will be a lot more cap created than this example above.

So this argument that is going around that players can expect less on a contract due to the flat cap seems kind of silly to me.

Gourde is 28 and massively underperformed his contract this year. He has 5 years left on that deal too. I could see TBL buying him out if it didn't impact their cap going forward.

Halak. Lehner. Or you just sign him again to a smaller deal, buying him out doesnt mean you cant sign them (as far as I know. Please tell me if im wrong I could be 100% wrong about that lol)
