Victor Rask

Man what happened to him? he went from a 40 point guy to buyout guy

 

[Djp]

I think you will see some more buyouts than expected from teams with tight cap space.

Many on here are saying...I’ll be able to give away this $5M cap hit for fair value.

Columbus could buy out Wennberg at1/3 as a 25 yr old. This will open up $4M in space.

 

[SensFactor]

Nick Leddy.

 

[Bazeek]

Devan Dubnyk.

No point in keeping him if Torts is staying, they don't mix.

Anything to get rid of Jack Johnson

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Devan Dubnyk.

You think?

 

[Bazeek]

You think?

I would bet my house.

Anything to get rid of Jack Johnson

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think he’s worth buying out.

I think he’s capable of playing bottom pair minutes and do the PK. He’s great at blocking shots and being strong on the puck in corners (though he’s not good at basically everything else). Pair him with a offensive minded 3rd paring guy like Montour from Buffalo and I think it’s not a bad bottom pair.

Would rather try to get a guy that could help him out like Montour rather than buy him out and be stuck with the penalty for years. Especially since he only makes 3.5m.

He'd be on the books for 6 years

Wennberg finally started shooting in the playoffs and got results for it. He's a keeper again. Jackets aren't that tight for space.

No one on the Flyers.

he also put up 22 points that's not enough for 4.9 million

 

[mattyboy]

gotta think alzner is bought out

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

gotta think alzner is bought out

I'm surprised that hasn't already happened

 

[Vachon23]

Nick Leddy.

NYI will find a trade partner for Leddy

 

[Captain Mountain]

Montreal hasn't needed any extra cap space and can afford to park him in the minors. They still probably don't. They also like the veteran leadership from a development perspective.

They may buy him out now if they don't need the cap space, since, due to bonuses, he'd have a high hit next season, a hit just under 2 mil the next season and a pretty negligible hit the next two seasons.

 

[Forge]

Cory Schneider for the devils would be the most obvious, but I'm not even sure that happens

That guy is such an enigma. He's played his entire career on a team that needs centers but he's proceed to produce like a puck-moving defenseman. He never shoots and teams know it.

The fact that he's 25 and still relatively responsible defensively has me thinking that a team would still probably pay him well if the Jackets decided to buy him out.

Weird player.

He's probably closer to a 2.5M player, 3M at the most if someone got desperate.

Leddy is good enough to get traded. I think they will be disappointed in the return like getting s roster player making $2m and say a 3rd.

Better than seeing live for 3 years.
