Buyout is the same as before but the compliance buyouts have no cap hit retained.
We'd pay him 2 million roughly until 2026-27 but no cap hit.
Too much for me unless...
Really depends how things go. I know that's a simple answer but it does.
They've acquired some of the new "currency", draft picks
They've got Vanek and Miller for even more currency, draft picks
Pegula's got the money to help other teams help us (buyout trade for picks)
It depends how quickly all these thing can happen. Depends much on other teams willingness too.
Neither of them will be bought out.
Actually that's what Vanek said about the team last week.

I was gonna break and buy something tonight at the store. Not so much now. As a friend put it, "just another holiday to sell more greeting cards".
Body blow, uppercut, uppercut, body blow, rabbit punch....
I picture a big buildup in the locker room. Players wanting to get Miller the shutout for his 500th game. Miller's feeling great, giving the Chevy Chase "you can do this, you can do this" to himself pregame. Puck drops, Isles take the zone, first shot BOOM blown past Millsie. Then Miller gets caught on camera saying "Well there goes that idea".
