Turris buyout among options for Predators, who look to get younger | NHL.com
Robby Stanley talks about the possibility of a buyout of Kyle Turris - something I've talked about before - as Poile spoke yesterday about this team getting younger. And boy howdy, did he mean it, as the General Manager confirmed that pending free agents Mikael Granlund and Craig Smith would not be returning.
With around $8 million in cap space currently available and now several holes at forward needing to be addressed either by prospects or free agency, a Turris buyout gives Nashville around $4 million in cap space for the remaining four years of his contract.
