Forbort
Reilly
Miller
Buying out Forbort and Reilly brings you close to $10mil in cap space
The draft will be interesting as I could see them making a deal or two.
Buckle up because the change train is pulling into the station.

10 million seems kind of high,but definitely seems like the first step to make .
That's what CapFriendly has them at even with the overages. I only bought out Forbort and Reilly.
Buying out Miller is the right thing to do but we don't get much of a savings

In between bouts of depression over the playoffs, I find myself a little bit excited about what’s going to happen this summer!
From the safety and security of my couch, while holding a job that pays me entirely too little, I will assuredly say that if I were Sweeney I would swing for the fences this summer.
Nobody would be off limits to trade or try to trade for and even if it meant 12 new faces on the roster, I would do everything to make this team tougher and faster.
Easier said than done, of course, but if this spring taught us anything toughness and skating wins in this league.

Buying out Reilly is a no-brainer.
Forbort is a good hand to have during the season. Eats minutes, kills penalties. You'd think he'd have some value out there, even if it's just a low draft pick. That said, the way Jim insisted on playing him in the playoffs and scratching Gryz over him was ridiculous and one of the contributing factors to the loss, so keeping him away from this roster come playoff time might prevent Monty from screwing up the D pairs again.

Not nhl, but free seats for those that them from Worcester.

Yeah, it's a whopper. Reminds me of the Islanders 15 year buyout of Rick DiPietro.

In fairness that DiPietro contract would have been great if he could have stayed healthy.
There's simply no way you could ever imagine an NHL player getting hurt over a 15-year contract. Maybe 20 years...

I think DiPietro still gets around $1 Million per season from the Isles until the 2028-29 season
It ran out in 2021 but still hilarious.
I was 16yo when that contract was signed.
I'm 33

Aside from Lundqvist, it's yet more examples of the Hockey Hall of Pretty Good. Tom Barrasso? Mike Vernon? WTF?

unbelievable. For years we've heard of how the bar for goalies is almost unapproachably high, but they let in f***ing Tom Barrasso and Mike Vernon?
Barrasso had a stellar first two seasons where he won a Vezina and finished 2nd in the Vezina voting. For the other 17 years of his career, he had one postseason 2nd team all-star nod and was a finalist for the Vezina 3 times.
Vernon has f***ing jack shit for accolades. One 2nd team all-star and Vezina runner up over 19 years in the NHL. He split the Jennings with Osgood once when they had Lidstrom, Konstantinov, and Fetisov in front of them. An absolute embarrassment of an induction given the precedent set.
If Mike Vernon got into the HOF, then Tuukka Rask is a unanimous first ballot HOFer. Period.
