Well, so much for trading or eating the contract for just one more season, the Minnesota Wild has placed winger Tyler Ennis on waivers for the purpose of a buy-out Saturday.
Per Michael Russo of The Athletic, the Wild will save roughly $2.4 million of cap space.
The unfortunate things on buy-outs, however, is that the team must pay the remaining two-thirds of his contract over twice the length of the remaining years of his contract. That means, yes, the Wild have another buy-out in a long history of buy-outs on the books again for next season.
