Speculation: Bad contracts that will be bought out/dumped

[atlanticobserver]

Borque aint being moved after signing that contract. Stars need his cheap contract.

He wont be your fringe prospect much longer when its open news he wont sign with Tampa.

Obviously. But even if he walks we get a second for free

 

[atlanticobserver]

Sheary and Howard for a 3rd round (contingent on Howard signing ).

Makes very little sense for TB, they can bury Sheary in AHL and save $1.2 million of his cap hit and get a second for free when Howard signs elsewhere next year

That's fine then.

 

[pth2]

teams than CAN... not saying that they wil.. but can take bad contracts for one to two years...
Utah, San Jose, Columbus, Anaheim, Carolina, Chicag, Pittsbugh, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle...

That is a first glance, may be more

I expect Montreal to move the Price contract for an expiring one.

For some teams 10M of LTIR will be better than a 5M overpaid player.

If the Sens make a trade with a big money team, it wouldn't shock me to see Mads Sogaard snuck in to equalize real money. He is on a 1-way deal, his development has stalled, and whoever acquired him could bury him.

 

[Vitto79]

Isn’t the buyout window open now ?

 

[Taswell]

I was going to make a thread asking specifically about LD cap dumps the Penguins could acquire, but I realized that I hadn't seen a thread yet for just general players who are candidates for buyouts or cap dumps this off-season. Who from your team falls in that category?

The names I've seen suggested so far include Kotkaniemi (CAR), Samuelsson (BUF), Dumba (DAL), Engvall (NYI) and Leddy (STL), but who else may fall in this category? And what would these teams trade to move these deals rather than buy them out?

Can probably take Engvall off…most Isles beat writers have reported they aren’t expected to buyout any contracts.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Justin Holl please god

 

[Stuzchuk]

Los Angeles does not belong on that list. They are not in a position to take a bad contract even if was just the year.

wasnt it projected that with everybody's re-signed LA had about 6M in cap? Unless you thing that Marner's in play in LA?

After the cup is decided…I think 48 or 72 hrs thrn buy out opens up. Buy outs have to be posted on 29th so thry can clear waivers

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Philip Grubauer.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Rangers are good, all cap dumps shipped to the West Coast

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Toews new contract

 

[Zirakzigil]

Philip Grubauer.

Swap for Jarry one for one?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Swap for Jarry one for one?

Maybe. Their contracts look similar so I wouldn't mind it.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Justin Holl please god

Can't remember if it was Friedman, od Seravalli, but they had Holl has a probable buyout candidate.

Of others these two have mentioned

TJ Brodie, they both seem to think hes a certain.
Holl as mentioned above.
Dumba
Samuelsson as his cap hit against would be really low.
Evander Kane was mentioned, too
Nurse kind of. This one might have been another person on DFO throwing it out as an option for the Oilers to get more cap space.

The Kings will use any cap they have to improve the team, not take on a bad contract for a little reward. That’s why I said they don’t belong on the list as the organization is trying to win.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Henrique’s a possibility in Edmonton if they want/need the space.

Easy and straightforward: save 2 mil next year, on the hook for 1 mil the year after

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wonder about Victor Arvidson.

Edmonton is pretty tight to the cap and it would save 2.6 million

 

[RoyIsALegend]

For the Avalanche:

F Miles Wood - $2.5m AAV x 4 years

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Kampf

Probably not, they save more by burying him.

 

[BlueDream]

The Blues won’t buy anyone out, but they will probably look to dump a couple contracts via trade.

Leddy and Mathieu Joseph are the most likely candidates.

Potentially Texier or Faulk.

That’s exactly the type of player the Pens should acquire. Very easily flippable at the TDL.
