suddenly they now have 9.5m in cap space for 4f, 2d, 1g
assuming at least 4 of those player are at 800k
that leaves 6.3m for 3 players
they are not in cap trouble, without a buyout or buyouts than yes they would be, but with them they are not
Tanev isn't going anywhere, Mason Raymond is FULLY available though

I still think this is just your thought and not what has been speculated by most media from Vancouver. You are trying to tell us that Booth was never a consideration for a buyout before his injury? I don't buy it. The buyout was made for a player like Booth. A player who signed a big contract, who's value has depreciated every year since he signed it, and still has term left with a hefty price tag. In the last 2 seasons he has played 50% of the games in total, and his point production was down before he even got to Vancouver.
