He has like 6 years left on his contract, and that's 41 games per season that go from CA taxes to NV taxes (no state income tax).

Fun fact, it works out to just under 1.4M in retention for the next six years
After the "dead cap goes away", the Wild still have 1.6M in dead cap for four additional years
I think it should be assumed the next GM will likely have to extend the wilds dead cap attempting to straighten out Guerins tenure

I really don't think you buy out somebody making $2.1M
If anything, Spurgeon just becomes one of the LTIR things that so many other teams are able to take advantage of. We'll see what happens after missing mostly a full year, but as of now, he's still a good player.
When that somebody is signed for 2.1 and 4 more seasons the buyout may be a thing

If we assume there will be a new GM in 2026-27, which I don't, Gaudreau would only have two years left on his deal. Foligno as well. I don't see Guerin buying either of them out, and with only two years left, a new GM wouldn't have to either.
Freddy G isn't a contract buyout contract it's one that you send though waivers to the AHL.
-Freddy G buyout with 2 years left would be 4 years of dead cap: $920k x2 and $590k x 2.
-Freddy G buried in the AHL with 2 years left: $950k x 2.
GMBG won't do this with him because of his loyalty to "his guys" (Merrill as example). A new GM won't have those same loyalty and shouldn't have a problem being a little cutthroat when he takes over and cleans house.
Foligno could be a buyout candidate, but he's more of a retain and trade candidate.

They might be 4th liners, but Duhaime and Dewar both provided a little toughness for this team. With them gone, Foligno now becomes a little more valuable and needed...especially if we are adding multiple rookies to the lineup
I was just going along with the buyout in a couple of years idea. Foligno isn't going anywhere. He's a GMBG's guy.
Duhaime doesn't really fall into the tough guy category for me. Clutterbuck, Foligno, Maroon, and Reaves are/were tough guys. Stewie was a respected face puncher, but not tough while playing. Duhaime is more like a Greenway, Middleton, and Scandella quasi tough guy, that nobody really fears.
I thought Dewar was more tenacious than tough.

Josh Doan just had two goals in his first game and he was very very good, cool moment for the Coyotes, the fans, and the Doan family

Watched the game. That was really cool
I looked up Kahk's numbers and he isn't doing bad. 2.75 GAA and a .923 SV%. Record is bad though 1-3. So who knows what's going on, but I always figured he'd be a good 1B, backup goalie like Khudobin.
