Looks like every team has a contract that needs buying out. What are the chances the NHL will allow Contract buyouts like they did in the past.
(1) Players could be bought out for two-thirds of their remaining salary
(2) Money owed to the player had to be paid out over the remaining length of the terminated contract — unlike Ordinary-Course Buyouts (which teams can exercise each offseason) where owed money is paid out over twice the length of the contract
(3) Teams could not pay owed money in a lump sum
(4) Players could not re-sign with the original team until after the 2021-22season
(5) Compliance buyouts did not count against the team’s salary cap, nor did they count against the total player compensation for that year
