I've used the buyout calculator for these guys and it just doesn't make sense for Vancouver to really buyout any of them, maybe Roussel but that's it.
For one they'd get basically the same amount of cap space from Eriksson by burying him then they would a buyout but with burying him he's done at seasons end, no cap penalty the following season. A buyout for Beagle doesn't offer much cap relief, Ferland is probably going on LTIR so a buyout would just be shooting yourself in the foot. Who knows what happens with Virtanen at this point so a buyout seems premature and as for Myers, he's overpaid but still useful imo, would be better to ride out his deal for a year or two yet before entertaining the idea of buying him out and having that dead cap space for so many years.
