List of Possible Players Up for Amnesty Buyout if in New CBA

[The DZA]

Im not really sure why Proteau made this list in the first place when there are several players he states a case for and then posts the likely hood of it actually happening by grading it a 1 or a 2 out of 5.

Guess it must have been a slow week.

Proteau did his back in february

"Amnesty Clause" Buy-Outs By Adam Proteau

[theknuckler]

what would be the players % of money they get for a buy out? isn't it 1/3 or 2/3 their contract value? i.e. if it was 10 mil it'd be 3.3 or 6.6?

[chilly666]

depending on age, yes.

I heard the Fish were interested in him...maybe the Rays if you're lucky!

Canuck2 predicted Bryz would be a disaster in Philly.

Bryz is a disaster in Philly.

Canuck2 is not ruling out the Yotes losing Mike Smith to FA and then signing Bryz off the scrap heap.

Canuck2 always brings you hard hitting news.

except for the fact that the flyers are gonna buyout briere and not bryz

[canuck2]

Canuck2 would not discount the Coyotes making a play for the return of Briere to the desert.
You heard it here first.

I don't feel like looking it up so I'll ask -- can't a team use both of its buyouts this summer? That's how I understand it. I'd love to see the Flyers buyout Bryz and steal Bernier from LA via offer sheet.

[chilly666]

my understanding is one per offseason

[Phila26Flyers]

I looked it up anyway. According to NHL.com, teams are permitted two compliance buyouts to be used during the 2013 and/or 2014 offseasons. Looks like both can be used in the same offseason. Which makes the most sense, given the goal is to help teams get under a much lower salary cap.

[chilly666]

you're right...both can be used

Compliance Buyout Explanation Article

[MattBurger]

There is no doubt in my mind that the Bruins will buy out Rich Peverley as opposed to Chris Kelly after this season. Neither guy has played to the best of his abilities, but Kelly is more valuable to this team in the sense that he can play in every situation, and is considered a valuable veteran leader.

Leafs will most likely buy out Komisarek. Tim Connolly is gone anyway as he's a UFA.
