How is it unrealistic? The Flyers did the exact same thing with Riley Cote. He retired with a year left on his deal and was immediately named assistant coach of the Phantoms. Has been there ever since
Has there been any developments regarding protecting players with NMC on expiring deals in the expansion draft?
Because if we're forced to protect him, the gain of buying him out isn't just the cap savings next year. It means not having to risk losing one of Laughton/Raffl/Cousins.
Does not buying him out screw us up for a potentially expansion draft. He should be off the books by then right?
