Does anyone know when the deadline for compliance buyouts is?
Something tells me with the Sharks financial "woes"...they are really trying to avoid a Havlat buyout as much as possible.
I offered Burns+Demers to the Oil for 3rd overall and they said they wanted us to add Havlat if they added Gernat

There's no way Havlat's playing on the Sharks so they have no choice but to buy him out or trade him and retain 50%. It makes no difference if they buy him out today or on the 30th.
Oh definitely. But the fact that they haven't done it yet while others have just tells me that they are really pushing hard for a trade (even if it means retaining salary). I don't expect a buyout announcement until after the draft at this point.
Speculating here… but the longer they wait to buy out Havlat, the less time and opportunities he will have to sign with another team. Waiting possibly puts the screws to Havlat to consider more options for trade opportunities.
I think it's all the same - UFA signings can't happen until July 1st and it's not like he'll be a hot commodity. Probably a mid-July/August signing.
