No idea what this means for the potential second buy out period.

 

[ncm7772]

Ok. Never understood why everyone thinks the world of this guy, but it’s a cheap contract I suppose.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Does the buyout window still last until the 4th for us?

 

[The Old Master]

and it won't be long before we will know about ek.

Yep, 48 hour timer starts now. Karlsson watch until end of the week

 

[jmelm]

DOC!!!

Actually according to this link, the 48 hour buyout window doesn't open for three more days:

Pittsburgh Penguins Re-Sign Drew O'Connor, Avoid Arbitration

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed winger Drew O'Connor to a two-year deal worth $925K per season.

But we do get the buyout window

 

[Sideline]

2 way or 1 way? Assuming 1 way if DOC agreed pre-arb.

I dont think you do. it has to be a ARB award to open a buyout window.

No it doesn't. When DOC filed for arbitration, either a settlement by the arbitrator or an agreement beforehand gives a buyout

Nope

Buyout FAQ - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

NHL player contract buyouts, frequently asked questions and answers

www.capfriendly.com

Clubs are permitted to perform a buyout outside the regular period during the 48 hour period beginning on the third day after the final of [CBA 13(c)ii]:

1. Settlement of the Club's final arbitration case, or
2. Receipt of the Club's last arbitration award

So, 3 days + 48 hours from today at 9am est or whenever the settlement went through.

Philly did it 2 weeks ago with DeAngelo. Noah Cates settled before an arbiter was involved.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I'm surprised Sullivan (who secretly runs the team) allowed this (because he hates DOC and refuses to give him big minutes).

When you're wandering in the desert, even a muddy puddle seems like an oasis.

He's probably this team's best and most consistent producer and home grown prospect since Blueger. That should tell you everything about the state of this team

 

[LOGiK]

Doc, schmock. Big deal.
Little fish signing...
Arbitration, heh...

 

[Randy Butternubs]

"The buyout window will open Saturday and be open for 48 hours. That's the last opportunity for buyouts until next summer."

As per Taylor Haase.

 

[Peat]

It's the final countdown!

Also, yeah, nice for DOC. Keep on trucking soldier.

 

[Turin]

About 100k more than I hoped, but not too unexpected

Cap compliance!

Can't you just FEEL the excitement?!?

You'll have to ask Europe (the band)

If Dubas doesn’t use the buyout window, he either has a trade of substantial $ going out or he knows that Jeff Carter or someone is going on LTIR…with $3.2M over I can’t see him nibbling around the edges to waive a goalie, Ruh, Nylander etc…for one, it wouldn’t be enough and secondly, they’re forcing themselves to play with a shortened lineup

We got Ty Smith for about 150k lighter than I expected so it all pans out.

Trade Desmith. Drop Ruh and Nylander down and you are cap compliant.

Dubas has played with a shortened line up for years.

Jeff Carter finding out that he won a deluxe all-expenses-paid trip to Robidas Island would ALMOST make up for this utter shit offseason.
