    Default Who to buyout?

    Hello everyone, I am going to have to make some moves and in my salary cap league, I can buyout someone over 5 million. Since we are required to keep everyone else on our team over 5 million, we get 1 buyout, meaning we can clear off a big contract off the books with no penalties. Should I buyout Schneider, Kessel, or Zuccarello or is there anyone else? My cap is around 95-96 million, so I believe I would be up against the cap before using my buyout. Full team is in my signature. All suggestions will be appreciated! Thank you and have a great day.
    12 team deep keeper league, 17 main roster players, 5 prospect players, max 2 goalie keepers for the main roster. point breakdown goes as follows:
    Skaters:

    Goalies:
    GS is 1.5 points, -1 for GA, 0.2 for SV, 4 for SHO, and 3 for W.

    I'm of the mind that Kessel is still going to be a useful player. He is historically not great the first year with a new team, so I have a bit of hope he's going to rebound next season and be a 60-65 point player, which I think on a cost per point basis is more than you'll get from Zuccarello.

    Schneider has fallen so far I think he's the least useful of the three. Could he take over the crease from Blackwood? Maybe? He's my buyout though.

    I remember this team, I think. Personally, I generally hate Lindell in cap leagues, but you have worse contracts.

    I think there are 2 decisions here: Kessel versus Zuccarello, and the loser of that versus Schneider.

    While Zuccarello rarely is physical, he is more physical than Kessel. I do think Kessel has a change at a higher scoring season, and his contract is so much shoter, I think he's better to hang on to.

    That leaves Zuccarello versus Schneider. If the Devils make a FA splash, or commit to Blackwood, there's a chance Schneider gets bought out.

    When are buyouts due?

    Oh I missed the cats, thought it was points only... I think I still stick with Kessel > Zuccarello, and unless as Steve says, Schneids gets bought out, I'm going with him. Even if Schneids gets bought out, the only cat that Zuccarello (as is this season) out-performed Kessel was blocks, and I think that Kessel has a lot more room for improvement in points/shots/ppp than Zuccarello.

    Here's a question for you. Hypothetically, if Schneider does get bought out by the Devils this off-season (not saying he will but who knows), is he a free drop for you?

    I'm dropping Schnieder. With categories, holding on to Schnieder it is very possible that he actually hurts your weekly performance by lowering your stats in each goalie category. While Zucc (who'd be my 2nd choice) may only contribute marginally towards your cats, he can't negatively impact your stats.

    Also for what it's worth, I have Kessel as a dark horse to put up a 65+ season, so he's someone I'm looking buy low on right now.

    yes he would be so I really wanted NJ to buy him out so I can use my buyout on Zucc or Kessel to clear up even more cap.

    yes Drouin is no longer on Ir and my full team now only has 961k in cap even without the Cirelli extension so I need to clear up as much money as possible

    So if Schenider does not get bought out by NJ, he is the buyout? and if he does, then Zucc is the buyout?

    I think it's got to be Schneider. Zucc will still have some value. Don't think Schneider will.

    For me it's Schneider but if you have time, I'd wait on making any decisions.

    thanks guys for all the advice! I will hope that Schneider gets bought out by NJ so I can cut him and Zucc, thus freeing up 12 million in cap!
