Not sure if this is the plan, but would you?

The story of Frans Nielsen's DRW career. Can't think of any other Wing that got smacked more often the past few than Nielsen.It doesn't save much money, but it does open up a roster spot, and the team has already picked up a much more capable player in Namestnikov.
I think they should do it for Frans' sake. He looked tentative on the ice, got nailed a bunch of times, and I think he's one hit away from getting LTIRetired. I'd rather not see him take that hit, because I don't want to see a player's career end that way.
Hirose right before he got demoted, but I'm glad to see I wasn't the only person who noticed. Green gets whacked a lot too, he was always terrible at avoiding hits.The story of Frans Nielsen's DRW career. Can't think of any other Wing that got smacked more often the past few than Nielsen.
Yea, but Backes hasHirose right before he got demoted, but I'm glad to see I wasn't the only person who noticed. Green gets whacked a lot too, he was always terrible at avoiding hits.
I think the Backes headshot did him in though. Not even sure what that was all about, clear cheap shot to the head, and Nielsen has never been a dirty player.

I'd rather buyout Nielsen next year.
It's meaningless to buyout Nielsen this year. We don't need that extra space anywhere.
Roster spot can be opened for other player by burying the contract on waivers.
Normally I would agree, but penalty is pretty much nothing. $666,667 in 2022/23 and same in 2023/24. We'll be just fine.
$1.33M of actual cost savings, and we know that Chris is pinching pennies. Buyout hit of $667k in 22/23 and 23/24 is rather meaningless.But the gained space is just air. We don't need it.
Only 2 reasons to keep Frans:
- Expansion draft (need to meet 40/70 rule)
Would we have enough legit centers on the roster at that point?

You have to think Yzerman should be able to score more players like Fabbri.
We'll have ~7M in cap space after Bertuzzi, Mantha and Timashov are signed to complete the roster.
Where do we need that Nielsen buyout, which will give ~3.5M of more space, but replacement player will cut 1M of it?
What difference does that extra 2.5M do?
7M or 10M? There's the space for moves anyways, and that will grow to be x4 at the deadline.
It's a move he'll do if he signs another UFA. There are still players available, and buying out Nielsen saves the team actual money.We'll have ~7M in cap space after Bertuzzi, Mantha and Timashov are signed to complete the roster.
