Not sure how I missed this but the info came out a couple days ago.Riku Helenius - No. 15 overall draft pick in 2006 - on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating contract. Played 7 NHL minutes.
Kinda surprised by this move but maybe this was initiated by Helenius and simply wanted to go play back in Europe or something.

Also might be connected to some deadline deals. I believe the Bolts were at 49 of the max 50 contracts before this buyout, so they may have wanted a little more wiggle room if they are entertaining package offers for a certain big named little guy...or for someone else unrelated to that hype.
LOL! I am not sure if that was the nail in the coffin or not but it certainly helped. Helenius hasnt been playing much in the AHL this year anyways behind Desjardins and Gudlevskis. Ole Gud wasnt really playing overly well in Syracuse pre-Olympics. In his last 9 games heading into Sochi, he went t 4-4-1 with a 2.89 GAA, a .888 SV%. Nothing really special there. Allen York was recently called up from their ECHL team as well so that tells you how comfy the Crunch were with their goalie situation the past few weeks.
Doing a little more digging into the situation, apparently he was bought out because he refused a demotion to the ECHL.

Does this have anything to do with Vasilevski? Who might just be in the NHL when the KHL season ends

Decision to terminate Helenius contract really had nothing to do with Gudlevskis, but more to do with the organization being displeased with Helenius overall.
