Hypothetically speaking, do you think Feaster could convince the owners to write a check to Seiloff for 3M? That is essentially what they'd be doing if they acquired Komisarek + 2nd Round Pick from Toronto, then bought out Komisarek's contract. They'd be saying a kid drafted in the 2nd round is worth 3M + his entry level contract, before they even know who they're getting.
Unless I am not fully understanding this, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Fully agree. Not to mention how many teams need 3 buy-outs to get to the cap? I doubt many. Seems this was put in place so teams don't have to buy-out there better players on a higher cap. Every team has a "Stajan" or 2.
I would say Stajan ( no-brainer) and either Sarich or Stempniak. I highly doubt they buy out Weidman or Hudler. Granted this shortened season will be more about tryouts for next year than winning the cup for some teams.
