Arizona has no goalies signed for next season. And speculation is they will have trouble.in free agency due to their arena situation.
They may legitimately have difficulty reaching the cap floor. Mzarek could potentially be a legit option for them

Florida added: top 4 D (Chiarot), Top6 F (Giroux)
Tampa added: Hagel; and of course tampa is tampa i.e. their superstars show up to play in post season: Kucherov, Point, Hedman and ofcourse Vasy. (Stamkos to a certain extent too).
Boston added top4D at cheap AAV (Lindholm);
Basically Atlantic competition just got better (or were already better i.e. Tampa).
Leafs: Ritchie traded for Lyubushkin (hoping Lyubushkin will provide value); Mrazek waived (hoping Kallgren might be the guy)
Lots of "hoping";
And TDL tomorrow. To be seen. if Leafs can match, improve compared to their Atlantic competition

I think there's actually a chance he gets claimed by a GM that thinks he will rebound in a different environment away from the spotlight.
Hopefully a team like Buffalo, Arizona or Detroit pick him up.

This year is actually pretty on par with multiple Mrazek years. He has always been scrambly and without a D corp that can clear the front of the net, gets himself in trouble.
Most people who had watched Mrazek's career knew this wasn't a good fit and were praying it would somehow work.
Carolina didn't let him go and go looking for an upgrade because they were satisfied with his play.
Ridiculous signing from day one. I think there's a good chance he gets claimed though, I was expecting Mrazek to be traded in the off season.

just got off retaining on Kessel trade (executed by Dubas) and now this. explain this one Dubsters. what a clown.
No one has been bought out yet and no indication it’s coming yet either.
The goalie that's coming via trade in about few hours. Hang tight
He wouldn't be waived if there was no-one coming this way

We signed a vet from Findland, Harri Säteri, but he has to pass through waivers too . I found the answer
In Mrázek’s case, the Leafs would clear the maximum — $1.025 million (U.S.) — of Mrázek’s $3.8-million cap hit. In Clifford’s case, the number, the cap savings would be $1 million, his salary this season.
i think it was a hypothetical post ... first of all u can buyout someone during the season, and there is no indication that they will.

I think it is more likely he gets cleared and we move him for some kind of short-term money coming back, but maybe a team wants him bad enough.
Rare you get guys (usually) as good as Mrazek on waivers, even if the cap hit is high.
Personally, I have no issues with a good move not working out, even if it means we have this contract on our books. Like Ritchie, it is not like it is hard to move these guys with shorter term deals even if they have some money, and a guy having the worst half-season of his career is usually not going to deter people's original interest in him.
