Just as an option once the player is targeted for a buy out. Give the player and the team (if both agree) a choice to restructure the contract rather than just sending the player packing.

I understand why it'd be appealing, but for every Briere or Luongo, there's probably 10 guys teams would love to have take a paycut and there's probably 20 guys who want raises.

Ahhh, it's moot anyway. I'm certain it was tabled in some way, shape, or form.

That topic would be a non starter as far as the League is concerned. Probably the same for the players.

No it doesn't. The Compliance buyout is put in as a transition rule to help teams deal with the artificially lowered Upper Limit for next Season. And there is a limit of two per team for the life of the CBA. And is limited to the first two years.

very poor technique on the push off. gaping five hole, right pad not sealed to the ice, stick up in the air basically covering nothing.

if bryz did that, he'd be the worst goalie ever.
