I mean....you've waited this long it would suck to bail a few weeks before and have him actually sign somewhere wouldn't it?
20 team multicat salary keeper in signature.
I have held Byfuglien all year. According to rules, he had to take up a reserve spot and his 7.6m counted against my cap hit(ouch).
Thus, i have lost a roster slot and that salary all year. I am in contention, and am now trying to make a push to win.
The scenario is as follows:
I can keep Byfuglien. If he gets cut and becomes a UFA, his salary goes to 0 in the league and i still retain his rights. He just takes up a roster spot. If he signs this year, i get the new cap hit. If not, i have until the start of next sesaon to keep him and retain his rights. If he resigns, i get new contract and term. If he doesn't resign, i must drop him. If he retires at any point, he must be dropped.
I have tried to shop him to no avail.
Gut feeling is he does not sign by Feb 24, will not play this regular season, and either retires or waits until the offseason to sign with someone.
My question is, should i drop him in order to pick up someone off the waiver wire and try to win. Or is he worth taking the chance on that he resigns sometime before next year?

I would've dropped Byfuglien months ago in a cap league. He's very unlikely to play this year. Who knows if his cap hit will be worth having next year, I'd bail and get a real player.

At this point I'm only holding on to him in leagues where there's no negative consequences. In a cap league I'd be moving on.
I actually own him in a dynasty league, with a huge bench and static weekly lineup. He's basically a farm hand for me with upside.

Byfuglien is an easy drop in this situation. He isn’t coming back this season.
So where is that contract termination? i have waited whole season for him to resolve this situation to be able to put him on IR or NA. There were news about the termination coming soon but then nothing again...

He shut it down for the year so he stays suspended.
