I read somewhere though that the Habs will save money if they buy him out now rather than later.
Something along the lines that if they buy him out now they will save a couple million over the life of the contract and have less of an impact on the cap.
Maybe someone who knows this situation better can chime in?
Nevermind: I found the link.
Montreal Canadiens Need To Buy Out Karl Alzner Immediately
Basically, the article explains the benefit why Alzner should be bought out this offseason.
We don't need that kind of money for a while though, unless we make a strong push for Karlsson or Duchene then we might since Domi's extension might make us tighten our budget. I'm sure we can just ride out Alzner's contract for the most part.
