Biega, DDK, and Brome were assigned to the taxi squad putting the team at 20. Nielsen is technically still on the roster, but obviously there's another move coming before the next game. My assumption would be Nielsen heading to taxi and Brome on the roster.Obviously nobody is picking him up. But wonder what the corresponding move is. Anyone know what that puts us at for the 23 man roster?
Taxi squad. Does this mean the wings get half off on his salary? Idk so I am asking
Makes me think they need the cap space for somethingThey get 1.095m relief on his cap hit. They still owe him 100% of his cash.
They've only been keeping 20 on the roster in between games, which is a cap space move for a team that has a ton of cap space. Bert is still IR, and you know Brome (taxi) will be playing the next game.With this move and Bert coming back we are still only at a roster of 20. I’m hoping we are either making a move (trade) or calling up a kid
$1.075M of cap space, no actual salary impact since he's on a one way.Taxi squad. Does this mean the wings get half off on his salary? Idk so I am asking

kinda wondering why they wouldn’t have done this with Nielsen earlier. It’s not a money saving thing so why not do this the whole time to start the year.
Buyout only saves $500k of real money, and it also impacts 2022 cap by $500k. His contract next season is half signing bonus. So it's pointless either way, unless they do it just to severe ties so he can play in Europe. I think he's still good enough for Europe.He'll clear and hit the taxi squad. No reason NOT to eat his salary for the balance of this season. I wouldn't want any carry over cap hit, so keep him around next season and waive him again. Another Holland special.
Because they need 20 on the roster. What's odd is that they started doing that about 10 games in, and have continued to do so. Nielsen is still on the roster right now, but they'll swap Brome & Nielsen for the next game I'm sure.kinda wondering why they wouldn’t have done this with Nielsen earlier.

Blashill we pissed he won't have him to put out in the finals minutes of a game.
It is about time, I hope they buy him out in the offseason.

Wonder what would happen if he just wanted to go play in EuropeHis buyout would be a cap hit of 4.25 million next season and a 500k the following. Not much difference so I’d say they’d be better off burying him in the minors
Who do you think is getting called up then?No, it doesn't. Nielsen is probably going to be healthy scratched and they're going to call someone else up. This isn't a "we need cap space move", because they know that Nielsen isn't going to be picked up on waivers, so they can just get the flexibility of moving contracts around. I wouldn't be surprised if teams were just going through their roster to see what guys they could put through waivers to have the most flexibility. Which is why guys like Henrique are on waivers, Johnson, etc. It's what I would do if I had access to the taxi squad. Keep all your options open for player movement.
