But with 2, I think you'll potentially see a "fan favourite" go. 2 more years of Cammalleri at $6 mil and 4 more of Tanguay at $3.5 mil might be tough to swallow under the new cap scheme. My choice would be Tanguay, I think his best days are behind him, and he's realistically a 20 goal, 50 point guy at best.
The buyout I'm most looking forward to league-wide is Hainsey. A total plug, drastically overpaid at $4.5 million, with seemingly no appreciation for how good he had it. I'd love to see the owners show some solidarity and no team resigns him ever.

The buy outs are for the start of the 2013/14 season when the cap drops as well. Cammalleri will be in his last year of contract as will Stajan,
Tanguay will have 3 years left as will Hudler.
How these guys play for the rest of the year is liable to determine who gets bought out.
If Iginla shows he has some miles left then some signifcant cap will need to be cleared
