    Default [Rumor] Vanek to be Bought Out

    I heard last night that the Minnesota Wild have decided to buy out the final year of Thomas Vanek's three year contract. Bob McKenzie tweeted out the same information earlier this evening.

    Nothing has been formalized to this point, but the probability of MIN buying out Tomas Vanek in the next couple of days appears quite high.

    This was speculated before the Boudreau signing - then there was a thought process that maybe Bruce gets the best out if him - seems even he knows a lost cause (or at least a better way to spend that money!)

    Nice to see that they are smart enough to move on. However they probably just move on to giving Backes a 6 year deal worth too much money.

    Yes! Cap & roster space relief! Well I would have likely just buried him in the minors again on my team but still.

    I remember thinking how much a mistake that contract was when he signed it. He's got a lot of dog in him.

    Go to the player in questions Fanager page, there’s a “Buyout this contract” button.
