A Semyon Varlamov buyout spans 6 years, has a cost of $5,500,000 and savings of $2,750,000. Varlamov is 36 years of age at the time of the buyout; therefore, the buyout ratio is 2/3. With $8,250,000 in salary remaining, the cost is $5,500,000, and the savings are $2,750,000. Buyouts span twice the length of the remaining years and because there are 3 years remaining in the contract, the buyout length is 6 years. The buyout cap hit is displayed in the Cap Hit Calculations table below.
While this is a 35+ contract, it is exempt from the 35+ buyout rules because it is either 1). One year in length, or 2). Not front-loaded and does not have a signing bonus after the first contract year (as per the 2020 MOU). Please see the
