Yeah, buying him out would be stupid when a trade would get Buffalo assets.
Plus, he doesn't cost shit.

Who’s paying assets for an oft injured “defensive defenceman” who’s having trouble being a defensive defenceman with a cap hit of 4+ for another 5 or 6 years?

If he doesn't improve, a Kotkaniemi buyout would be fairly cheap for the Canes.

Plenty of teams. The guy is 24, has a proven track record as a shutdown option to star players, and make less than 5 million.
Trade? Ok
Buyout? You're nuts

Pretty sure the entire argument against his contract was that he hadn’t proven anything yet. And the more he plays the more it seems they may have jumped the gun giving him that contract. But hey, if someone wants to give up an asset for him then I’m all for it. But if you can’t find a dance partner, it makes sense to consider the buy out, since it’s cheap, and you have internal options to fill his spot.

I think Montreal is going to look to take some big swings this summer after what so far looks like a season of regression so could see an Anderson buyout on the table

Hed be a 1/3 buyout since hes under 26.
but I'd see them likely trading him in a large deal first before they would do a buy out.

If Patrick Roy has a say, Pierre Engvall is gone.

LOL, I and many others called that one the day it was signed, what an obviously horrible deal, but happy for a long time maritime warrior that he cashed in
Seriously, that contract seemed at the time to be a glaring example of too much, too soon, for what seemed to be a pretty limitedly talented kid that just happened to click with a burgeoning superstar. He should have a shrine to Dahlin in his mansion

The one thing I’ll say about PLD, and I mean this sincerely, is that he f***ing sucks at hockeyHow are Caps fans feeling about PLD and his one goal?

He will be in the last year of his 3 million per season deal so it will be cheap.

With that being said, they already have money coming off without anything internally to really do, won't they just soak the last year even if he's in the AHL?

Don't stand for the Hawks. Stand for Kyle Beech.

Anderson and Gallagher are both candidates, although maybe only 1 gets the axe

Wow i thought Montreal rejected a 1st round pick for Anderson and now he is a possible buyout candidate?

Clearing cap isn’t the only reason to buy-out a contract. He isn’t much of a top 9 forward anymore. Verbeek can admit the mistake and move on. I’m usually against buyouts, but this guy is cooked.
