Dunno if this been posted before but it's news to me.
Can this be something the Devils are counting on? Or are M&M not applicable to this becasue of their age when they signed?

A small, but perhaps significant, wrinkle in the collective bargaining agreement pertaining to buyouts: Contrary to common assumption, a club is able to issue a buyout even after free agency has begun. Typically, buyouts must be wrapped up prior to the annual July 1 free agency date. However, according to the CBA, a club is able to buy out any player within 48 hours after the settlement of an arbitration case -- not just the player in the case, but any player on the roster.
