ok and next year with "real" buy-outs? Half cap?
- gravyface

Not surgeon that one sorry

Vinnie would certainly be signed to a more reasonable/manageable contract (for TB).

What is Vinnie's value today?
- As_I_See_It

Yeah, but they can't sign him, even if we buy him out.

The only way they could get Vinny back is if we bought him out, then he signed with some other team, then that team traded him back to Tampa Bay.

That plan sounds like it has way too many moving parts to work.

Me Too, keep him and the pick, Tampa gets #21 and Colbourne

Keep him, draft drouin.

JVR Lecav Kessel

Lupul Kadri Drouin as our top 6

The team that buys the player out pays two thirds of the remaining salary (the real dollars owed) over a period twice as long as the years remaining.

There are absolutely zero cap implications. The player becomes a free agent as if he has no deal in place whatsoever. A blank slate.
- Leeman4Gilmour

So players can stand to make more money if they're bought out then. Wow. Really pays to play well for like one year when you're in your late 20s

Pretty much. If Luongo gets bought out, he'll get something like a 2 million dollar cheque for the next 16 years.

Plus whatever he signs for.

Because bumholes like you kept buying hockey merchandise and the owners and players wanted more money because of the 31.95 you spent on a hat one time.

yup.

Watch Luongo... or Richards.

if they get bought out, they'll still sign pretty good deals, like $4-5M for 5 yrs I'd imagine.

AND get their buyout checks of close to $2M a yr or whatever for the next 15 years or so.

So rich teams can spend money they can afford, and poor teams can get back some of the benefits when rich teams spend money.
