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

[Dallas Stars GM]

Buy out Noah Gregor, Vehvi Vehvilainen
Thanks

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.

Buyout Stephen Johns please.

1 yr 3200000

Spread the hit out over two years please.

3.2 * 0.75 = 2.4; 2.4 - .3 = 2.1; 2.1/2 = 1.05M x 2y.

Buyout Victor Svedberg

Buyout Victor Svedberg

2050000*0.75 - 300000 = 1.2375M, assuming you want to pay it off in one year (if not, the math is more complicated and I'll be sad).

2 years is where the real savings is but I think I can get away with 1. We can be nice and go with 1.

Buyout Olivier Roy

Should be $0 penalty as he was a fast sign and that should all be fixed now with my FA going through.

Free releases of fast signs should go in the waiver thread.
