Malone enters not guilty plea as Bolts mull buyout | ProHockeyTalk



What could complicate a buyout, though, is Malone’s entry into the NHL’s Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program. Collective bargaining agreement language is unclear if this prevents a team from buying a player out — NHL clubs can’t buy out injured players, remember — but it’s worth noting the CBA doesn’t specifically address this issue.

The Times reached out to the NHLPA on the matter, but the union declined to comment.

TSNBobMcKenzie: Stastny wrapping up a 5 x $6.6M deal in COL. Guessing Avs looking for a pay cut. Stastny may fetch his salary or more on open market.

No guarantee that you will get a winner if you spend money, but you're going to lose players if you continue to lowball players.

Not sure why they couldn't buy him out...unlike an injured player, this is a case of a player making a poor life decision. I can understand the NHLPA still offering help in form of rehab, but why in the world can't they buy him out?

Any player who is unable to play, the NHLPA will stand behind.

Because if they deny this and allow him to be bought out, then LTIR can be invalidated because playing the way Pronger played could be argued as a "Poor life decision" which led to him being incapacitated.
