if we don't have the resources to buy him out, how can we have the resources to either 1. make him an expensive backup or 2. allow him to affect our results negatively ?
That's "taurine excrement" (hope that doesn't break forum-decorum
). A buyout means that you pay 2/3rds of a player's slary (if age 26 or older). Due to his backloaded contract, P****** will be making $3,750,000/$4,250,000/$4,750,000 in the next 3 seasons. The Jets will
SAVE $1,416,667 per season on average for the next 3 seasons. There are a lot of goalies with better than .901 SV% that can be had for less than $1.4 million.
