Related Topics: Edmonton Oilers, Cody Ceci

The NHL’s first buyout window opens tomorrow and ends June 30th. Is there anyone the Edmonton Oilers should buyout in this timeframe?

The first buyout window officially begins on Friday June 16th (opens 48h after the playoffs end), and ends on June 30th.

There is no limit to the number of buyouts a team can perform.https://t.co/kNXKYGYTuE

The start of the buyout period is a chance for teams to give themselves some cap relief no but it gives them dead cap space in years in which the contract would have ended initially.
