You have to remember that any guy that is bought out is off your team as you can't re-sign him.
So while I dislike Mike Green and think he has a bad deal I don't think even I would say you are gone off our team for nothing. Brooks Laich isn't even on that bad a deal so no reason he is gone.
If Myers is Tyler Myers then that might be the dumbest move in NHL history to have him gone for nothing.
When looking at the list it has to be both bad deal and guy you don't mind losing. MOst of the guys on your list didn't fit in the second part of that equation.
I think almost, if not all, the guys cut will be of the 3/4th line, bottom pairing guys with medium level contracts that are bad.
Sure there will be a Gomez with a huge deal but for the most part guys with 5+ million dollar deals got those for a reason and are too valuable to lose for nothing at all.
Guys like Stajan, Ballard, Frolik, Olesz, Vishnovksy (if he won't play for Islanders), Andy Sutton, Khabibulin, Leino, Jussi Jokinen etc. are the type of guys that I think would be bought out as they make enough money to help you out and can be replaced on the roster.
