Speculation: Summer 2025 Buyout Candidates

[Sticktape]

I think I read Grubauer somewhere might be a candidate?

Palat in NJ probably gets some consideration, though I doubt they do it just yet.

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?

Flyers would think they got a steal.

Damn, Suter signing just a one-year deal disqualifies him this time around.

Matt Dumba (1 yr @ $3.75)

Scratched again tonight. That contract was bad before the ink dried this Summer. Nill mightve been feeling himself a little too much after b2b gm of the year wins

Goodrow and Vlasic will be possible buyout options for the Sharks depending on who is graduating provided they're healthy then but they're pretty long odds.

He 100% will, I dont see Seattle committing 10 million+ to their goalies.

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.

But then you’re pushing his cap hit into years where we might actually need the space. Benefits don’t outweigh the downsides here

It’s only $2 mil. Cap hit. Sometimes you got to bite the bullet.

He's remembering how to play hockey lately
