Toronto Maple Leafs’ Buyout Options Entering the 2016 Buyout Window

A reminder of how buyouts are calculated, via Cap Friendly:

  1. Multiply the remaining salary (excluding signing bonuses) by the buyout amount (as determined by age) to obtain the total buyout cost
  2. Spread the total buyout cost evenly over twice the remaining contract years
  3. Determine the savings by subtracting the annual buyout cost from Step 2. by the players salary (excluding signing bonuses)
  4. Determine the remaining caphit by subtracting the savings from Step 3. by the players Annual Average Salary (AAV) (including signing bonuses)

Here is the link to the Cap Friendly buyout-calculator toy and here is a good list of some of the buyout possibilities across the league.
