Buyouts/Retentions (Bought Out Players)

[AvalancheGM]

I didn't notice till now that MTL is over 50 contracts due to the Valk trade. But several other teams are also over.

If this is going to be penalized I'll buy out Samsonov. If not, I guess I won't.

Ilya Samsonov
1y 600k
150k cap hit from buyout

Release fast-signed Habs legend Yannick Weber

Release fast-signed Habs legend Yannick Weber

... there is really no point in releasing expiring contracts anymore.

Yeah, no problem for me. Just didn't want to have more than 50 contracts because of that. If it's not a problem until the offseason, then all is good.

Although I didn't get around to setting a deadline on buyouts (there will be one next season), I already told VAN last season that you can't do this:

The regular season is over so it's either 75%*(800k-300k)=375k for next season or infinity for the 0 games left this season, which I'm going to say is not a reasonable option.

... and even if you could, you only had ~150k cap space at the end of the season.
