RUMORED Potential Buyouts before FA

[MCDevils]

I thought we might compile a list of rumored players that may be bought out this off season. Obviously depending on who gets bought out, the UFA landscape could change drastically.

Rumored Players:

Richards (NYR): Appears that he's in the dog house, and considering they have him signed until the end of the decade, hard to imagine they don't use the compliance buyout.

Briere (PHI): Diminishing production and Philly needs to get in better cap positioning.

Bryzgalov (PHI): Obvious his contract is HUMANGus beeg, and he hasn't been getting it done. Flyers fans must be annoyed beyond belief that Bobrovsky is a vezina finalist after they ran him out of town.

Volchenkov (NJD): Seriously fallen off.

Here's a list of what team's cap space looks like. A lot of variables go into it so it's tough to tell. Certain teams may have guys that will be looking for a big payday in a year or so and they may have to clear space. Vancouver and Philly are in the worst shape and will 100% be buying out some big contracts.

i'm not really sure who is going to get bought out by anyone. just have to say that just because they were bought out doesnt mean they are washed up and shouldnt be targeted.

like richards i wouldnt mind him on the team.

bryz hasnt been brutal this past season the flyers just sucked!

I'd taker a run at Briere ONLY if we could get him very cheap

Richards at the right price
