Compliance buyout = No cap penalty, immediate cap relief
Burying in the minors = The player still counts against the cap (team gets $0.9 million relief but a $4.5 million contract would still count against the cap by the portion of $3.6 million)
Just a question. Can someone explain why a team would buyout a player with only one year remaining on a contract. Now I understand if they are right up against the cap and the player has a no movement in the contract, but if not, would it not make sense just to bury them in the minors. You are still paying what 75% of the contract with a buyout. Sending a player to the minors, you still pay the contract but it does not count against the cap right. Then at seasons end the player is done. With a buyout, the players salary cap hit is still there (see Tucker, Darcy)
Just don't understand why you would buyout a player with only one year remaining
Points only, 26 team keeper league. keep 8 + 4 prospects. 2 LW,2 RW, 2C, 4 D and G. 1 point goal,1 point assist
Goalies. 2 points win, 1 for O/T or Shoot out loss, 3 for SO, 2 for assist, 10 for goal. Minus 1 for a loss
Draft 8 more through draft. Need to have 11 on main team, 9 on reserve. Once roster set, can add 1 injured reserve spot.

I didn't understand it that way with Redden or Souray... Is that how it worked?
