Is it because it's in the 1st year if the deal ? If he really is at 33% I could see LA considering it.Dubois goes from 33% to 66% on June 24th, meaning June 23rd is the last day they can realitically consider a buyout.
Damn, means that retention spot goes on for longer.For Detroit, I'd say for sure Holl, maybe Husso and Petry.
The owner is so embarrassingly cheap that Skinner could score zero goals, bhave a goal scored on them every time he’s on the ice, flip off fans and take a dump at center ice and he wouldn’t buy him out.I’m gonna go with Jeff Skinner. Doubtful they’ll pull the trigger as they’re closer to the cap floor, but that contract is brutal.
That said, if they can somehow land a couple guys in the offseason to finally fix that lineup I think Skinner could be let go.
No chance Deslauriers or Risto are bought out.RYJO, Cal Peterson, Cam Atkinson, ND ?, and to much lower extent Risto.
I thought Trouba was one of the reasons the Rangers are one of the top Cup contenders. Interesting reading about how he’s not that level of player any more.
I did not realize he was still under 26. It is tempting for LA but it is admitting you made a colossal F up. short of Blake being fired before then I don't see them doing itIt’s actually scary how friendly a PLD buyout would be… yeah it would be 14 years, but the cap hit isn’t really that bad and, other than a few years, should be very manageable

I'm not familiar with the Kings ownership but would they be okay with a buyout of this length? Legitimately curious.It’s actually scary how friendly a PLD buyout would be… yeah it would be 14 years, but the cap hit isn’t really that bad and, other than a few years, should be very manageable

They need to look into retention or a swap that matches cap dollars.The owner is so embarrassingly cheap that Skinner could score zero goals, bhave a goal scored on them every time he’s on the ice, flip off fans and take a dump at center ice and he wouldn’t buy him out.
A simple rule of thumb. If it costs a penny…Buffalo isn’t doing it.
31 other teams buy him out 100%. There’s only one “bad” hit and it is three million less than they’ll be paying him that year to be three years worse than he is now. But this isn’t a pro sports team. It’s a con man’s grift to collect expansion dollars and sit on a franchise that has already become 5X more valuable than he bought it for. It’s a sham. That’s how you get to 13 years, are stuck with the worst coach in the league, and hire an unqualified bozo for GM. Because no one else will hire them and they smile when Pegula cuts their budgets.
From PIT - Acciari seems relatively likely. I'd also buyout Graves but I doubt Dubas would. Graves would hurt, but he hurts so much more being on the roster.
Outside shot of Rakell or Jarry but you're probably better off taking a chance on them rebounding.
His Cap hit is 9.250 until 2029-30
In a buyout for years 2026-27 to 2029-30:
8.783
9.583
9.583
9.583
They'd come ahead in the next 2 years, but it's attrocious afterwards. He's not gret, but he's also not terrible outside of his contract, which is borderline buyout proof.
Kotkaniemi? If they buy him out before 26 they only have to pay him a third of his mammoth contract.

always a chance more so ndNo chance Deslauriers or Risto are bought out.
Gaudreau first! And you can bet Foligno will be bought out at some point. Two back to back core surgeries, and his new bloated contract hasn't even started yet.Please be Zuccarello
Could we buyout Guerin?Gaudreau first! And you can bet Foligno will be bought out at some point. Two back to back core surgeries, and his new bloated contract hasn't even started yet.
PL also has 11 points in the last 11 games. At least LA has another seven games of regular season in the playoffs before they have to make any decisions.I did not realize he was still under 26. It is tempting for LA but it is admitting you made a colossal F up. short of Blake being fired before then I don't see them doing it
I actually wonder if they might extend Armia, if he'll sign a 2x2 contract or something like that. He clearly fills a need, and there's no one in the pipeline to replace him, with Ylonen and RHP both being deeply underwhelming this season.No need to buy out either Armia or Anderson. They're not out of the rebuild. Armia has a year left. He'll be TDL fodder next year. Andy might get back to 20 goal pace. Even if he doesn't, they're not buying out three more years at $5.5 million. If a buyout is in his future, they'll wait another year. Otherwise, they'll eat half the contract and trade him or LTIRetirement him.
I can't believe how quickly Petry seems to have lost his entire game.For Detroit, I'd say for sure Holl, maybe Husso and Petry.
Just like last year when he played well in a contract year PLD has realized he is under 26 and maybe a buyout candidate, he'll revert back to his lazy self after his 26th b day.PL also has 11 points in the last 11 games. At least LA has another seven games of regular season in the playoffs before they have to make any decisions.
