2014-2015 NHL Waivers/ Buyout Thread

TSNBobMcKenzie: DAL puts Aaron Rome on unconditional ($125) waivers for purposes of enacting a buyout. Only player on waivers today.

TSNBobMcKenzie: There are regular buyouts (count against cap) and compliance buyouts (not counted against cap). Rome's buyout in DAL is a compliance buyout.
 
The Rome buyout is a bit of an odd one to me.  I guess it's freeing up some money but he's on a 1-year deal for 1.5 million.  Dallas has 16 players under contract (15 after Rome) and will have 21.5 million in cap space.  Either they are planning on spending big this year or it's just cost-cutting.  Next year is going to be interesting for them though.  They have just under 30 million committed in salary (a lot of it on overpaid contracts - Horcoff, Gonchar, Cole).

I imagine it's more of a situations where they weren't going to use both their buyouts any way. They had a player that they didn't feel fit into their roster, and they wanted to give him a chance to find a team where he'd get to play.
 
TSNBobMcKenzie: VAN puts David Booth on unconditional waivers for purpose of buyout.

TSNBobMcKenzie: BUF puts Ville Leino on unconditional waivers for purpose of buyout.

FriedgeHNIC: Rome (DAL) clears waivers
 
TBTimes_JSmith: #TBLightning has initiated the compliance buyout process for veteran Ryan Malone, the Times has learned. Will save a $4.5 million cap hit.
 
It's an ordinary course buy out.

The Coyotes GM says its was about "real behavioural issues that [they] felt [they] could not tolerate going forward" and that he has been seeking help this summer.

I always knew he had issues, but I didn't know it was like that.

mirtle: Can confirm Sharks will use compliance buyout on Martin Havlat. Buyout period ends at 5 p.m. on Monday.

Talented player but he's never healthy.  It gives the Sharks about 11 million to 2 forwards and 1-2 defensemen

Yeah. He could make for an interesting Raymond type signing, but, that's about it.
 
TSNBobMcKenzie: BUF has initiated compliance buyout procedures on Christian Ehrhoff. Not official just yet but BUF has begun the process.

This one is a bit of a surprise. I know he's got a lot of years left on his contract, but, it's at good value. I guess they'd rather avoid the potential recapture penalty issues instead of trading him, because I can't believe no one would have been willing to pick him up.

That is a bit surprising. Free agency just got a bit more interesting.
