A major 9 million dollars player will have his deal ended
After the NHL season ends, the first of two buyout windows opens up for NHL teams and Jeff Skinner might be the first victim of it.
With the salary cap set to increase by over $5 million, teams are looking for creative ways to make big moves. The Buffalo Sabres, who have missed the playoffs for 13 consecutive years, aim to rebuild their roster.
They are reportedly parting ways with Jeff Skinner, a veteran with over 1000 NHL games. The buyout will have implications for the Sabres for the next six seasons, with the most challenging year being 2025-2026, when they will face a cap penalty of $6,444,445. Due to a no-movement clause in Skinner's contract, he won't need to go through waivers to be bought out. Once the buyout is complete, Skinner will become a free agent and can sign with any team.
