Almost no one in this league is getting bought out. Redden and Gomez were very rare exceptions. Good players who are overpaid by a million per year are not buyout candidates.
It's a little much calling someone an idiot for speculating a buy out of a player like richards on a team like I pointed out has one third of next years cap tied up in three players. There is some sound logic to buying richards out. But my bet is more on Gaborik who has two years left at 7.5 a year. Cannot give up a number one center in my mind. unless the rangers are completely in love with gaborik.
