Speculation: Who gets bought out this summer?

Post 3 said it.

Still happening

1. Multiyear contracts of players who got waived like Campbell. There are 2 options…a buy out vs retention trade like Hayes. Givrn thr cap increase coming the latter might be used

2. Many RFAs will not get QO but they could be resigned. Arbitration awards will still be a concern.

Teams always consider arbitration. Has a track record of what the arbitrators make their decisions on. Playing time, points, other stats.

Anyone on a 1 way deal who is spending a good chunk in the A should get a buyout.

Ryan Johansen will likely be bought out if the Avs can't dump him. He's abysmal. I am sure there will be analytics nerds defending his play but the eye tests shows he's slow, disengaged and is unable to make plays. He can score on the PP, that's about it.

So “He can score on the Pp, that’s about it”, you sure you’re not talking about Draisatl!

Definitely one or two from the Habs from this group: Anderson/Dvorak/Armia

All three buyout combined:
24-25: $1,705,556 ($616,667 + $222,222 + $866,667)
25-26: $5,405,556 ($1,266,667 + $2,222,222 + $1,916,667)
26/27: $3,722,222
27-28: $1,722,222
28-29: $1,722,222
29-30: $1,722,222

Gallagher & Savard will stick around for a few more years.
Fans will gladly accept a young team so long as spots keep opening up for youngsters.

I doubt it, cap is still not a concern next year and the team likes Anderson even with the lack of production. Hopefully can move Dvorak at 50% - thanks again Bergevin
