Toronto Maple Leafs’ Buyout Options Entering the 2016 Buyout Window
The NHL’s 2016 buyout window opens today (June 15) at 5 p.m. EST and runs until the eve of free agency on June 30.
A reminder of how buyouts are calculated, via Cap Friendly:
Multiply the remaining salary (excluding signing bonuses) by the buyout amount (as determined by age) to obtain the total buyout cost
Spread the total buyout cost evenly over twice the remaining contract years
Determine the savings by subtracting the annual buyout cost from Step 2. by the players salary (excluding signing bonuses)
Determine the remaining caphit by subtracting the savings from Step 3. by the players Annual Average Salary (AAV) (including signing bonuses)
