They have the cap space now with no one worth signing. Don’t drag the debt into future years with a buy out when the team may be good then and they may have players worth signing and need the cap space. They have to carry Lankinen this year as a third goalie if Demko returns. But next season his NMC ends and he can be waived to Abbotsford if he can’t be traded with a sweetener and/or retention. When the cap is tight again they can think of buying him out, but there is no need right now, and the longer they keep paying him, the less time the buyout lasts and the cheaper it gets. Just say no to buyouts!
The magic words.
We shouldn’t do a damn thing with Diesel this season. His legacy will be a small sign, hanging in the office where contract negotiations take place, written with a sharpie marker in block letters that reads: “remember the contract”.
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.
