by accident found that young players signed to long contracts are just re-captured at 1/3 the remaining. There are 3 players the Leafs could target to then buy out (below $ are cap hits); and thus open up cap space, and maybe even pry away a D-man from a cash strapped / rebuilding team
Wenneberg buyout would = $441,667 next 4 years ($891,667 4 years after)
Nik Ehlers, buyout would = $493,056 in 2019-20 / $2,243,056 2020-21 ..... (then .493, then 2.243, then.....); Can WPG afford to keep him at $6M? - they can't Buy him out
Brady Skeji buyout would = $1.643M for 3 years then under $800k next 7 years
