With the uncertainty of how much longer Z will actually play, there's no way I see the Wings buying out anybody with more than a year left, if they even buyout anybody at all.
That trade definitely really hurt! Yes....good bye Lehtera.Third-ing this one. Lehtera should be gone.

was he ever decent? his puck skills is atricious. even if he could defend little better i still think he would be bad.Hate seeing this but knew it would happen. Alzner was absolutely terrible last year and his body is just shot. He's been a warrior his whole career but Caps fans knew whoever was signing his was getting a shell of the player he used to be.
Yep. This is why I can't see the Hurricanes buying out Scott Darling, even with a new owner. The only player they've ever bought out with more than a year left on his contract is Alex Semin, who was a huge problem on and off the ice. It's way too much money to pay someone to go away. They might as well hope that Darling bounces back.If a guy has more than one season left on his deal, he has to be a HUGE negative for a team to want to buy him out (Dan Girardi, career over Stephen Weiss). OR he has to make so little money that buying him out is literally just to get the contract space.
90% of these guys you list as buyout candidates would not be bought out in a million years.
I agree Edmonton doesn't have any buyout candidates.
It's going to take another 3 years before buying out Lucic looks viable.

lsnt he buyout proof?Carey Price.
Teams considering buyouts of overpaid but still somewhat useful players should contact the Coyotes before buying out. AZ has cap space, a couple of open roster spots, and Chayka has shown a willingness to take on dead cap if the sweetener is right.

As for burying Darling in the AHL, what would be the point of that? They'd still have to pay him his full salary and I find it unlikely they're going to be within a million of the cap ceiling, which is the only way that burying him would be more useful than buying him out. I've seen this tossed around a lot among Hurricanes fans recently and I'm confused. This isn't pre-2013 where you get rid of someone's cap hit by sending them to the AHL, nor are the Hurricanes interested in paying someone $4M to play in the AHL.
He's going to be on the team, most likely. Don Waddell said as much recently.
I forgot Moulson was even playing in the league. Looking at him is his 1.4 cap savings really worth not burying him? Does Buffalo need the cap space? I see him being better for an Arizona type team, only 2 mill salary and 5 mill cap so some cap team could use him like they have with Datsyuk, Pronger, etc.Matt Moulson is definite for the Sabres!
Now will they bite the bullet and this with Zack Bogosian? That’s a tough one but paying him 2/3 might be better since he plays so rarely.
If he doesn't lose weight and pull a Dustin Brown, I'd rather they LTIR him because of his Scheuermann's disease. If challenged, the Oilers can use Hossa as a precedent of how a pre-existing condition can become too much of a barrier to overcome for a player later in their career.
Duh!Any Minny fans want to chime in is Tyler Ennis a buy-out candidate?
That explains everything.Much like Canes management I was high.
Smith has 2 more years left? Would the Rangers want to tie up a buyout slot for 4 years?So it begins today, who are the candidates ?
Matt Moulson, Branden Smith?
