WPG shouldn't buyout Perrault, he's still good, Little maybe, other than him there's not really a point to buying out anyone else

Easily. Teams may throw first picks at us or good prospects to get us to do it. Dubas is probably already planning for this making it like a bidding war

One should think Philly would use it on JVR. He wasn’t a Fletcher signing.

Florida isn’t going to buyout Bobrovsky... yes he had a bad season but he’ll be better next year and if they do buy him out it’ll make it hard for anyone to want to sign with them... you just signed that guy to a long term deal, he didn’t work the 1st year so you get rid of him... not sure FAs would want to sign with them long term for a bit.

I agree with you on the teams in your Explanation (incl the comments about JvR and Hagelin or Panik).

I don't think that Arizona has to buy Stepan out because they can probably peddle him somewhere for at least a high draft pick.

I don't think that Columbus has to buy Dubinsky out because I think he goes on permanent LTIR.

Since Anaheim has no impending cap problem, I can see them taking on a @palhal - type trade instead of buying Backes out.

Close call as to whether the Kings would buy out Jeff Carter or Jonathan Quick. I'd vote for Carter to start making room for the young forwards coming up; now that Los Angeles has traded Jack Campbell, I'd keep Quick.

I bet he's already had at least one telephone call from Julien BriseBois in Tampa.

Dubinsky was supposed to return late this season... that’s why he wasn’t on LTIR all year...I don’t think he’s a guarantee for permanent LTIR sadly....

actually usually when a team has an ltir guy they get good value for him especially from a cap stressed team look at vegas for clarkson they got a goaltender who could play for their ahl team. Toronto would probs give a low pick or mid value player to get that cap relief

And that’s if he is permanent LTIR... Columbus hasn’t ever placed him on LTIR...

Of course, the problem with the trade-and-buy-out scenario is that most of the potential subjects have NTC's or NMC's (20 of the 25 in this example).

Idk I thought they could buy him out and then go after Robin Lehner. If the compliance buyouts are for this offseason and next offseason like it was in 2013 & 2014, then they'll keep him for at least one more year.

The problem with buying out Bobrovsky is showing the rest of the free agents that if you want a long term contract here and don’t preform you’re gone. To free agents who want to stay somewhere and be there long term it says maybe we shouldn’t sign with that management. It’ll end up hurting Florida more then it would help them unless they think Knight is almost NHL ready... which from what I’ve seen he isn’t.

1. Thanks for the feedback

2. I doubt Stepan has the value to command a high draft pick, maybe a conditional second if half his money is retained, at this point the guy is a 30 point centre, with good defensive instincts, but is definitely not with 6million, and Arizona is cap strapped with all their young players getting extensions so Chayka's gotta make tough decisions.

3. For Columbus it was between Wennberg and Stepan for me, but because of Wennberg being 25 and under his buyout is really cheap for the Jackets, so it makes more sense to buyout Dubinsky. I know he's a good leader but his speed and offence seems to have evaporated now due to injuries.

4. Ur right Anaheim doesn't need to buyout Backes

5. As a Kings fan I would love to keep both, they're two of my all time favourite Kings, but the goalie market is solid to get a guy who has the ability to share starts with Petersen. E.g. Greiss, Khudobin, or Halak. Plus Carter can still give us 15-20 goals and around 30 points so id rather keep him.

I was lazy with the word "high" -- too indolent to type "second-round." I think he might get that (with or without some additional balancing compensation) from a team looking for a stop-gap second-line or third-line center.

Perception is important, but if Florida has no confidence in Bobrovsky (which it seems like Quenville doesn't) then it is important that they get rid of him so they don't have a 10 million dollar anchor on their roster. Also it's similar to what Philly ended up doing to Bryzgalov when he signed that terrible contract back in 2011 and was bought out after just 2 years.

True, but there were rumors that management (i.e., the owner) wants to cut payroll, which indicates a cash squeeze -- if so, it's doubtful that Florida would want to cut its losses by paying an empty stall $10 million for several years.

Agree I’d buy out Carter before quick as well. Quicks a perfect mentor for Peterson until Parik or Ingram or Villalta develop. But I also think Carter could probably be traded. I hear everyone say he sucks and he definitely is not Carter of old but people forget he was close to Toffoli in goals when Tyler was traded. Prob wouldn’t get a lot because of his age but a contender might be willing to trade for him for depth purposes.
